“I had the pleasure of working with Derek during his tenure at Pentaho/Hitachi Vantara. He is one of the most hardworking, honest, and insanely talented SE's & Managers I've had the chance to work with. Derek was a great mentor and helped motivate me and inspired me to push just a little harder on every demonstration and prospect opportunity. He has the ability to make the most technical things sound simple and is able to showcase value to every single customer - no matter the industry. Even though we started on the same team Derek quickly proved his leadership skills and was promoted to a management role and I was glad he was the one put in charge of leading us. People management came easy to Derek, he is a natural leader and coach, I know his team and I have learned so much from him and I would highly recommend him as a definite force multiplier on any team he is task to lead.”
