Derek was a hard working, dedicated employee with broad business knowledge and expertise. He took-on every assignment with passion, attention to detail, and timely delivery. A joy to have on the team.

Troy Lauer

Derek was an inspiring leader and mentor for me and our entire team. He exhibited strong customer relationship skills, and was always there to help strategize on how to foster new executive relationships and strengthen existing ones. Moreover, Derek was well skilled in driving internal executive support for many programs and customer escalations in which we had to identify root cause, collaborate on action plans for resolution, and successfully communicate with internal and external executive teams. Derek has always been a trusted partner and advisor of mine; always has a positive attitude and an ability to gain respect of his colleagues and direct reporting teams.
