Colleagues describe him as "I had the privilege of having Derek as a mentor and delivery VP at PFS Web. Working in the global software development field can sometimes be a gritty and impersonal space. Poorly managed delivery practices driven by profit margins and lack of ownership in the SDLC is all too common but in his time with us, Derek gave our business delivery team purpose with a clear vision of the proper steps we needed to take to overcome the growing pains of delivery department that has incurred several company acquisitions/mergers. He effectively gave us a solid foundation on which we can improve our delivery processes, as well as the confidence to continue shaping raw talent. While it's rare to find a leader that inspires this sort of change, Derek is the real deal - he will put 110% of his energy and time into getting the job done and his attitude is infectious. I echo others in thanking you Derek- for your lessons, guidance and leadership here at PFS. You are without a doubt an asset to whatever team you choose to join. " and "I've worked for Derek over the last 2 years and see him as an invaluable member of LiveAreaTech leadership team, from managing the Business Analyst team's day-to-day activities and assignments, to overseeing the team's transition following multiple acquisitions, to delivering on his vision of creating a team of highly skilled consultants vs "just" Business Analysts. Derek's expertise and leadership significantly contributed to literally hundreds of website "go-lives" for LiveArea. Derek spearheaded a repeatable framework so Business Analysts around the globe could share resources and best practices in order to accelerate time to value, while also cutting delivery costs. His focus was always on innovation, continuous improvement, and business results. Derek is very detail oriented, but also understands the big picture, a rare combination of skills that contributed greatly to LiveArea's e-commerce engagement practice's success. I've enjoyed working with him. "
