Hi, I’m Derek

As a people-centric, high-impact executive with an entrepreneurial spirit, I have built a reputation as a highly collaborative, and dynamic leader who is passionate about building teams, functions, and profit.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated success leading and aligning the revenue-generating activities of organizations to support global and domestic growth with vast experience across several domains.
