proper use of whom, who or restructure this sentence - help pls.
David is an experienced IT Healthcare professional whom I've worked with on several key technology initiatives.
Top answer
Both who and whom are correct because there is a preposition (with) at the end of the relative clause. Many usage experts prefer whom and you can choose that if you want to please them. However, there is no historical justification for preferring whom to who in this context.
