Chief Commercial Officer Gadget Software

David Leslie has 40 years of experience in the technology markets, beginning in the earliest days of the Silicon Valley at Tandem Computers.  Having founded three successful technology startups since 2001, David joined Gadget Software as Chief Commercial Officer to lead the introduction of Gadget’s ‘Smart Manuals on Smart Devices’ to the world’s Field Service organizations.  His first “C-Level” role leading the world’s largest service organization supporting Local Area Networks gave him first hand experience in delivering on tough SLA requirements in mission critical applications.  UB Networks supported the core data network operations of more than 400 of the Global 1000 companies in the 1990s, including Michelin, DuPont, and the NYSE.  Since that time, David has been committed to solutions which integrate customer service seamlessly with the total customer relationship, from prospecting to post-deployment.  In between startups, David has served several non-profit organizations, either as a Board member, Chairperson, or CEO.  He was educated in Economics at the University of California, Berkeley.
