TESTIMONIALS

I have had the privilege of working closely with David Crocker as Chairman for the Philippines Local Organising Committee of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. As Executive Director of the World Cup, David's leadership, dedication, and exceptional skills were instrumental in the success of this landmark event.

David's leadership was pivotal in aligning our three host nations and resolving complex challenges throughout the planning and execution of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. His strategic vision and ability to see the bigger picture enabled us to navigate numerous obstacles and ensure that all stakeholders were united in their efforts. 

One of David's standout qualities is his adeptness at managing difficult matters with sensitivity and empathy. His approach fostered an environment of trust and collaboration, allowing us to address and overcome challenges in a constructive manner. David’s ability to listen, understand different perspectives, and find common ground was invaluable in maintaining harmony and driving progress.

Thanks to David's unwavering commitment and exceptional leadership, we successfully delivered what many consider the best FIBA Basketball World Cup ever.
