Re: David Beardsley
Manager: CAD/ Digital Design
To whom it may concern
Dear Whom,
Mr. David Beardsley was manager of CAD systems at Microsoft Corporation, and had responsibility for the
CAD library systems and technologies, individual CAD drafting technicians, and the workflow of the CAD
Design Team within Microsoft Hardware. This also included several “partner” relationships, as well as
managing the contracting and private vendors. David’s skills with people have allowed him to build teams
with extraordinary commitment and vision for their work, as well as genuine excellence in their drafting
skills.
My personal work with David was primarily around the support he needed in developing the PTC solution
into a world-wide platform, so that he could leverage drafting opportunities in China and Taiwan. His
methodical approach to sequencing the decisions, projects and programs required to integrate this
platform saved a significant amount of back-tracking to redo elements that would have been costly for
the company. Without damaging the trust required for healthy relationships with his employee’s, he
would meticulously help them groom their planning process to achieve the best value proposition for the
company, while allowing for appropriate intervals to rescope and re-prioritize fast moving design projects.
This agility, and flexibility, has proved invaluable in preventing unnecessary system investments without
reasonable cost justification.
I am confident that David is up to any senior team management opportunity that is placed in front of him.
Again, it is his vision for the management of people that is entirely without precedent in my experience.
He gets it done without the grinding, and losses associated with rapidly changing environments.
Regards,
Carl Greninger | IT Manager – Devices Engineering Services - World Wide
