About Darren Squires

EXECUTIVE STRATEGY FOR OPERATIONS AND PROFITABILITYAs an executive and senior business leader, I direct $100M companies to achieve improvement and success even in the toughest environments. Informing strategy with analytics, team accountability to exceptional results, and the willingness to create value in the face of challenge, I am a go-to leader for growth and turnaround. With deep insight, I learn what makes a company tick, no matter its stage of business growth—I’ve served as an executive in startups, high-growth companies, and turnarounds. But knowing what needs to be fixed is one thing; getting people to rally to the right vision is another. Guiding large global teams to success is my core talent, and it has allowed me to grow revenues and margins irrespective of market conditions.By bringing structure to complex organizations experiencing distress or simply needing to get to the next level, I teach my employees to develop the right analytics, planning, operational programming, and financial goals. The results of these executive strategies are measured in revenue growth over time, cost controls through strong operations and inventory management, and, unsurprisingly, exceptional team cohesion and morale. I have found that when employees understand what is expected of them and where their contributions fit in the larger organization, they are willing to give 110% to the cause. In fact, my mantra is “Always contribute more to the company than you take from it,” and my teams and I willingly go the extra mile.As for myself, I am driven by what I know is possible in every aspect of the business. Thus, I continue to define learning opportunities for myself and my teams and fulfill our natural curiosity about “what could be” drive our achievements year after year.My leadership capabilities span:☑Strategy and Vision☑Scalability and Profitability☑Analytics and Turnaround☑Product Development and Marketing☑Talent Leadership and Development

  • Fanzz
    President | General Manager
    Fanzz Mar 2015 - Feb 2018
    Greater Salt Lake City Area
    I led the executive strategy for the overall business. Strongly leaning on analytics, I measured and evaluated all factors supporting a complete business turnaround, which led to improved cash flow, better communication and integration across the business, and, ultimately, a situation in which we centralized our business into a regional focus and closed stores.These changes and periods of success directly related to the development company’s first fully integrated, comprehensive financial planning process. By analyzing all metrics monthly, quarterly, and annually, we were able to act on variances quickly to ensure broad growth. Of course, this new executive approach had strong implications not only for improved cash flow but also for inventory planning, retail strategy, eCommerce, and more. I worked with our teams to build a new inventory planning tool that more accurately assigned inventory levels according to expected costs, pricing, and seasonal value.With a focus on corporate culture, we shifted the way we connected individual and team contributions to the broader corporate approach. This new understanding and accountability increased employee engagement and continually challenged the executive team to communicate openly during first the turnaround and then the choice to close stores. I think our attention to our employees’ needs also elevated their connection to the outcomes of the business, so communicating tough decisions was somewhat easier.

    Vp Of Planning
    Fanzz May 2014 - Mar 2015
    Greater Salt Lake City Area
    As vice president, I devised and delivered purchasing forecasts for 120 stores. Focusing on revenue, margin, inventory productivity, and more, my team worked with the buying team to optimize purchasing across all product lines, including brand-name offerings (Nike, New Era, Majestic, and others).In a comprehensive inventory planning strategy, I not only led the development of metrics supporting open-to-buy purchasing, I also worked diligently to increase the value of deep-aged and aging inventory. To ready our facilities for more profitable inventory, I enabled our oldest inventory to be sold at deep discounts, which supported our future revenue strategy and more than 20% comp store revenue (2015-2017).Based on my executive expertise and leadership, I was promoted to the position of president in 2015.

  • Overstock.Com
    Sr Director | Director Of Analytics
    Overstock.Com Jan 2012 - May 2014
    Greater Salt Lake City Area
    As the senior director (promoted from director) of analytics, I designed a comprehensive strategy for forecasting and maximizing our revenue. I centralized our strategies around cost optimization, looking at a number of factors that directly influenced our margins.On the pricing (revenue) side, we developed a pricing methodology that gave us granular insight into our competitors’ pricing, so we could be viable in the eyes of our customers. Looking at Amazon, Walmart and more (50+ sites), we bench marked our own pricing strategies against those of our most likely competitors.On the cost side, we defined and analyzed data from all corners of the business, including inventory costs, marketing, and even our talent development program. With this refreshed and very clear deep dive into our performance history, we implemented specific changes that improved in-stock rates and yielded $20M revenue growth. My broad strategy had multiple components, including marketing vendor cost rationalization and inventory level controls, all in support of defining ideal inventory levels on a per-SKU basis.On the talent side, as responsible for 80% of the company's analytics team, I reversed a historically damaging turnover rate, cutting that metric 85%. Our talent development program, strong and insightful leadership, and clear rewarding of capability drew employees from across the company and became a deep well of talent for succession planning.
  • Making Memories
    Vp Of Planning & Operations
    Making Memories Jun 2008 - Jan 2012
    In this global logistics, supply chain / procurement, planning, and operations role, I oversaw strategy for sample development, design approvals, manufacturing, and shipments from factories in Asia to United States distribution centers.Primarily, I negotiated and oversaw relationships with our manufacturing partners in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand to improve cost controls and maximize margins while producing products ideal for Target, Michaels, and other big-box stores.One big hurdle I successfully overcame was elimination of frequent stock-outs via a strategic inventory management system that I built to assure regular flow of product. This tool was integrated into the supply chain strategy within our overseas factories as well.At the same time, I cut costs and errors across overseas logistics and reduced costs of aged inventory, yielding +500% in liquidation sales.

Furthermore, it supported our group’s perceived value, which also improved our internal sense of what we could and ought to be focusing on.Prior to this role, I held a number of retail leadership positions:Vice President (Planning, Sourcing, Allocation), Old Town Imports, LLC, Salt Lake City, UT.
