  Review of Introduction to Microfinance, May 01, 2008

  Dave is great. I learned a lot from this class, especially strategies for how to better choose appropriate Microfinance products to fit various situations. Dave's wealth of knowledge and experience of Microfinance coupled with his easy-going personality made this a great use of time and money. I especially appreciated the objective stance he took in proposing ideas and debating topics. It's all too easy to allow personal feelings about politics to bias one's opinions; Dave approaches problems with balance and objectivity leveraging experience from his various backgrounds (banking, entrepreneurship, and product development management) to render the most appropriate argument.

  I highly recommended this class to anyone interested in broadening or rounding their understanding of Microfinance from a man with real-world experience.

  Dave previously worked for Unitus, an innovator in global microfinance. So, if you are interested in hearing about the cutting edge and where microfinance is going, Dave's ya man.

  Thanks for the nice review, Dave -- and thanks for all of your support of what we're building here on the 'street! It was awesome working for Unitus -- I think it's one of the more innovative and inspiring organizations I've ever been involved with, and I can't wait to see what challenges they undertake next. And, I'm also excited to see your new venture!
