About David L. Sznewajs

Throughout my career, I have worked with numerous global organizations that have been at the forefront of technology. To me, this business is not about technology, because technology changes. We are in the people business first, technology second. In my role as a sales leader, I have applied one core belief, that true success comes from building lasting relationships through trust and accountability. Trust grows through time and commitment. My team, our customers, and our partners know that I am invested in their success as much as they are. I am here to support and guide them through the always-changing landscape of our industry. I am honored to say that many of my customers have moved from a purely professional relationship to a personal friendship. To quote Reid Hoffman the founder of LinkedIn “No matter how brilliant your mind or strategy, if you’re playing a solo game, you’ll always lose out to a team.” Drawing upon unique skills, experience, and the diversity of ideas is critical for a team to find the balance and deliver results at the end of the day. Proud husband of 30+ years and an even prouder father of four boys who have successfully launched their own careers.
