Anytime there was a tense situation, such as a difficult conversation at the executive level that required special attention or finesse, Derek was always the person to handle these tasks with ease. He is highly adept at gaining trust and breaking down barriers. This ultimately influenced even very rigid and high-performing leaders to leverage different styles to achieve desired results.
