David Kaiser President/CEO @ Global CTIG
This is a story about a technology company whose genesis is rooted in a family farm. Our founder, David Kaiser was raised on the outskirts of Bakersfield, California. Hard work and a person’s word were ingrained values at a very young age. Although David wanted to become a farmer, his father encouraged him to experience college and learn about the technology wave that was just beginning. Armed with a bachelor’s in Computer Science, a master’s degree in Business, and an insatiable work ethic, David launched Global CTI from a humble mobile office. Nearly 30 years later, Global CTI has become one of California’s leading communications integrators. David began his company integrations model by earning gold partner status with Shoretel Communications and has since grown the company across several unified communications solutions including premier or gold partner status with Mitel, 8x8, RingCentral, and others.
