Bio
Fernando U.
During Derek's time at Apple, he was a high performer and very professional. He was hardworking and efficient in everything he did. He was one of the few in my team, at that time, that I would trust completely with any task and/or responsibilities. Since I knew he would always do his very best. He also had a great sense of humor. Overall, great employee and colleague.
Silke van Voorden
Derk and I worked closely together in a team for 1.5 years. I found him a continuously pleasant and supportive colleague and team-member. When he started at Lionbridge it was amazing how quickly he mastered all the processes, procedures and tools, especially having no background in the localization field. Derk tackles challenges with great dedication and I can highly recommend him to any organisation.
