“I have been assigned to the Infrastructure Security Division for a number of years, the most successful have been under the leadership of David during his tenure as Executive Assistant Director. David took an immediate interest in the program I manage for CISA. He helped us improve the program and move it into new directions while making sure we kept the foundations solid. He encourages innovative thinking in his subordinates and always aims to make things better.”
