David was the chief interface officer when he hired me in 2002, he gave me one of my first opportunities as interface designer despite my inexperience. He was an enthusiastic boss, putting a lot of illusion in the projects, always trying to be beyond standards working close to his designers. His vision was ahead of most spanish companies of that time.

I have had the opportunity to know David Gómez-Rosado through IconMedialab, and it has been, without a doubt, a great experience professionally. I would define him as a well-balanced, well-rounded professional, capable of generating creative flow as well as capturing and directing it to achieve an incredible end result. David is motivated and motivating, inspired and inspiring; very few times have I found a person in my professional life so capable of covering all aspects of direction, be it organisational or structural, that a creative sphere involves. In summary, when under the direction of David Gómez-Rosado, one feels that something really extraordinary can be developed.

David is a very creative and talented designer and also a high inspirational boss. When we worked together, he was always opened to new ideas and willing to innovate with new and exciting solutions to our customers problems.

David's capabilities in the field of user experience and design are are out of question. It's his ability to take the best out of the professionals he manages what I appreciate the most. David injected dynamism in our team, we gained confidence and did a better work under his guidance. He was capable of dealing with many issues at a time, paying plenty of attention to a disperse and diverse team of professionals. As I grow and get more experienced I happen to value more and more what he did at IconMedialab back then. I hope we have future chances of working together.

During my time as a colleague of David's, and since that time as professional acquaintances, David has consistently impressed me with his skill, insight and intense drive to produce quality, innovative interface work. He is an excellent manager, a tireless thinker, and a fantastic bridge builder. He is adept at building consensus around compelling user experience solutions between disparate and multifaceted business groups in a company, and equally great at building creative, productive, and cohesive design teams. David is a guaranteed star on any team and I recommend him highly.

David came to IconMedialab during turbulent times as Chief Interface Officer when I was Senior Art Director. His role was not enviable in the least as he had to revive a flagging team of 25 interface developers as well as lead and win projects. He did it... through capable leadership, a thorough insight and expertise in HCI, Art Direction and Web development matters, great client-facing skills and a sound internet consultant's acumen. Quite a feat! But this doesn't tell the whole picture... what's missing are the small but important day-to-day details David did which made the team stronger. Things outside the scope of projects like getting us awards and putting us up for web design related conferences really made a difference. Whereas most people will just do "the job", David goes way further. In that sense, he's been an inspiration and a mentor. I was sad when he left because we lost a great asset. But more-so because, I now realise, with David I would have learnt a whole lot more and a whole lot sooner. If we get another chance to work together, I'll celebrate it with David by opening one of my 1998 Vega Sicilia Únicos.
