Davis Atkinson

Senior Business Development Executive

I joined QCS Staffing's Life Sciences team as a Senior Business Development Senior, looking for a new challenge after 6 years in the IT consulting solutions industry.

I place an emphasis on forging long-lasting professional relationships that go beyond the typical 9-5 interactions in the office and acting as an advisor to provide the best solutions for my clients’ unique requirements. 

When I’m not in the office, I spend my time practicing software development, honing my skills as a gardener, and playing, coaching, and watching soccer.
