About David
David Newsome
Sales Executive
David launched his career in hospitality in 2011 at Roka Akor in Chicago, where he quickly discovered a passion for building relationships and creating value for clients. Over the next decade, he played key roles in opening and scaling high-profile restaurants including Untitled Supper Club, Imperial Lamian, Aba, and Formento’s. In each role, he was responsible for private dining sales, guest relations, and event management—skills that required prospecting, client acquisition, and delivering high-touch experiences that turned first-time guests into long-term clients.
His track record includes supporting successful venue launches, driving repeat business through strong client engagement, and collaborating with corporate partners on private events that generated significant revenue. He thrived in fast-paced, competitive environments where exceeding client expectations directly impacted the bottom line—experiences that mirror the dynamics of solution-oriented sales.
In parallel, David invested in his technical expertise. After earning an Associate’s degree in Computer Science in 2014, he completed a software development boot camp in 2022, gaining experience in Python, MERN, and Java. This training sharpened his ability to understand complex systems and communicate technical concepts clearly—an asset when guiding clients through tech-driven solutions.
David is channeling his combined background into tech sales. His strengths lie in consultative selling, pipeline growth, and solution-driven client management. With over 12 years of experience in relationship-based sales environments, he excels at identifying opportunities, tailoring solutions, and building long-term partnerships that drive both customer success and revenue growth. He is motivated by helping clients solve problems and adopt innovative tools that transform their businesses.
