He reported to me as a strategic capital engineer making recommendations and providing insights on billions of dollars of capital allocation. Derek has a very high dedication to his team and to his work. He would put in significant discretionary effort when given an urgent request, working well past reasonable hours to provide the analysis requested. One thing I came to greatly appreciate with Derek was his ability to take less refined requests and work them without high touch points from others. He would seek to understand the intended result and work independently on how to address the problem. He would proactively inquire if his work was directionally correct which enable refinement of the problem statements and methods deployed to solve them. Anyone in a strategic role will appreciate this skill as initial high level problem statements are rarely comprehensive of the underlying business challenge being solved."
