Frank Davidson

“Frank and I have known each other for about 8 years. I had the opportunity to work with Frank in a number of different capacities. My respect for Frank’s character and his professional ability continues to grow to this day. Frank is an extremely competent operations executive that can effectively implement a completely new manufacturing operation or turn an existing one into a profitable and efficient machine. His attention to detail and focus on total quality enables him to produce results with the greatest return on investment. Frank’s personal integrity and his calm, consistent demeanor are tremendous assets when it comes to managing a diverse team.”

“Frank Davidson provided invaluable guidance and support during the management of the Emersion Program. Frank possesses a unique understanding of the dynamics of corporate organizations and the role and effectiveness of players regardless of title and rank. It was not by chance that we were able to assemble, in a matter of a few weeks, a team of 50+ people that proved its effectiveness against many odds with the on-time delivery of a Beta tool to Samsung. During the many strategy meetings that we held to address what seemed an ever growing list of critical issues surrounding the Emersion Program I felt reassured and supported by Frank’s vast technical and organizational experience. Frank was ever influential and effective in creating and helping me create solution paths to problems across a wide spectrum of areas: budget, resources, planning, deliverables, schedules and customer expectations. There is in my mind a very special trait that Frank possesses and that is very seldom found with executive managers: his ability to listen intently wanting to understand completely before injecting his own views. Once understood, Frank’s pragmatic prioritization of solutions into the categories of “crawl”, “walk” and “run” provided a powerful and pragmatic approach to problem solving that could be easily understood from the board room to the stockroom. Finally, Frank is a pleasure to work with as he empowers individuals and teams with a “can do attitude.” He is tough and decisive in his management approach and absolutely supportive of individuals and teams to help them achieve stated goals. He is, and would, be a great asset for a company or organization wanting to enhance the depth, knowledge and problem solving ability of its executive staff.”
