His support has been crucial to my own development and success as an enterprise sales executive. Some of his key qualities include: 1) Trusting - trusts my judgement and gives me the autonomy which allows me to succeed. 2) Great as a soundboard - Darren has led multiple customers through complex cloud transformations and his experience helps me think differently about solving customer problems. 3) Brought more structure to my sales processes - sees sales as a science and breaks down the key metrics which contribute to overachievement. This includes pipeline generation activity, cadence and consistency of deals and successful close plans. 4) Customer first approach - able to understand what is most important to the customer and drive win/win outcomes. 5) Regular 121's and brings his team together frequently - understands the importance of bringing his whole team together to share success stories as well as lessons learned. I thoroughly recommend Darren as a both a senior enterprise seller and sales leader."
