Colleagues describe him as "Derek is the epitome of a team leader. He manages up and down and does so with grace and humility. When you work for Derek, as I did, you have a manager who has your back and who will come along side you to help you reach your potential. Mission is first for Derek. He sees the big picture and ensures that clients’ needs are exceeded, the work product is excellent and that his team feels valued. Derek’s even keel is his super power. He demonstrates grace under fire and manages deadlines and stress with clear direction and good humor. Humble and strategic are two other adjectives that come to mind in describing Derek. He sees beyond himself and thinks about the greater good. In my case, that meant there were occasions he let me work with another team and team leader to maximize impact. Derek didn’t need the credit. He just wanted what was best for the organization and its customers. Finally, Derek is someone who coaches his team in a mode of continuous improvement. He celebrates the wins and but never rests on his laurels. I highly recommend Derek. " and "Derek: He's the guy who goes on vacation for a week and things fall apart! He's deft at: editing copy, looking at coverage from a wide lens and keeping a news operation humming. He's earned the trust of his reporters and news peers by making sound decisions on daily deadlines. Derek is more than that though. He cheers on success, leads with empathy and has practical suggestions for reporters' struggling to break down complex news on deadline. He's both respected and well liked in the newsroom. He does all of this with humor and a smile. I consider him a mentor and friend. "
