These are unprecedented times. Organizations need future-focused expertise to navigate this unchartered territory to thrive. Using design-thinking approaches, I help leadership teams develop strategies for mission-focused growth, harness talents of diverse workgroups, and launch enterprise programs that deliver impact. I engage a mix of strategy, empathy, and agility in each business opportunity with infectious entrepreneurial drive. The excitement in business I enjoy most is making the impossible possible by bringing together a unique blend of creative insight, analytical problem diagnosis, intuitive needs assessment, and focused execution. Within privately held businesses and publicly traded global companies, I have 15 years of executive leadership experience managing technology, customer, and business operations teams. My focus includes driving change and transformation in organizations through startup phases, rapid growth periods, business turnarounds, and M&A. I have successfully managed, scaled, and optimized cross-functional operations for organizations (B2B and B2C) with revenues between $5M - $4B.Passions ► solving critical business challenges, customer advocacy, building/developing teams and sustainable organizations, innovating products and programs, and philanthropic and community advocacyImpact ► clear strategic direction and vision, focused execution, improved product innovation, profitable growth, advancing performance cultures, unleashing untapped capability and value, higher customer engagement and LTV, and predictable financial resultsIndustry Experience ► high-tech, telecommunications, online media and entertainment, healthcare, real estate, financial services, professional services, retail, and non-profithttps://angel.co/derek-barnes-3
