I worked with Derek at MLB (Major League Baseball) where Derek served as the Chief Technology Officer for Tickets.com a wholly-owned subsidiary of MLB. As the VP of Data Engineering, Tickets are a major data source. Derek ensured that from an operations and technical standpoint we always were able to deliver our data from our Fanbase of 96MM fans. We worked on architecture, data warehousing, vendor evaluation, Generative AI integration and covered both leagues. Derek's specialty is understanding the nuances of different schemas and projects, having the foresight to understand the future pitfalls, and making allowances for them, while also dealing with the individual personalities under his leadership. This systematic approach to the overall Engineering process is why it was not only a pleasure to work with him but also always insightful. I hope that our paths will cross again because I'm sure we can do many great things together.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Derek during our time together at MLB, where he served as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of TDC, a subsidiary of MLB. Throughout our collaboration, Derek consistently demonstrated exceptional technical expertise, remarkable business acumen, and an unwavering commitment to achieving great results. Derek’s understanding of the technology landscape in media entertainment, commerce, and security is truly remarkable. He possesses an ability to navigate complex technological challenges and identify innovative solutions that align with strategic business goals. His insights into the intersection of technology and industry trends were instrumental in steering our joint projects towards success. One particular project of note was our partnership to integrate the infrastructure technology organizations of MLB and TDC. Derek’s guidance and active participation were invaluable in ensuring the seamless merging of engineering functions between our organizations. His collaborative approach and deep knowledge of the organization’s dynamics were instrumental in the success of our goals. Derek has cultivated strong relationships with key players in major technology companies, earning their respect and trust. Our collaboration with these industry leaders has led to numerous advantageous partnerships and innovative initiatives, all made possible through Derek’s network and rapport. As a leader, Derek is unparalleled. He is a pragmatic and results-driven individual who excels at translating vision into action. His ability to streamline processes, rally cross-functional teams, and deliver tangible outcomes is truly commendable. His inclusive and collaborative leadership style facilitates effective communication between business and technology leaders, driving alignment and fostering a culture of shared success. I wholeheartedly endorse Derek Argobright as an exceptional technologist, visionary leader, and strategic partner. His ability to navigate complex landscapes, forge meaningful relationships, and drive impactful change makes him an asset to any organization. I am confident that his contributions will continue to be of immense value in any professional venture he chooses to embark upon.
