David Peralty

David Peralty In a way that has been unique in my circle of contacts, I have successfully bridged the gap between marketing and IT departments for several years. I am an expert at distilling complex language and jargon down so that all project stakeholders have an understanding of what needs to be done and how to accomplish their goals. I've worked in a number of successful startup environments, established medium sized companies, and worked for the government.
