VP of UX at Compass Digital Labs
I look forward to exchanging with experienced design leaders, including Design Managers, Directors, Executives and Founders. My own design career brought me from consulting to in-house roles, living in Europe, Asia and North America. I worked at IDEO, Fjord, Continuum, and Kiska.
โIt was a pleasure chatting with Derek and discussing how we are both looking to thoughtfully expand our teams. It's always nice to talk with others who are interested in DesignOps and improving culture and systems. Thanks for connecting Derek!โ
โDerek was very generous with his time and made himself available to answer my questions at a time that worked with my schedule. He shared his experiences and answered my numerous questions candidly. Derek was also curious about my experiences and opinions, and enjoyed having a discussion that was mutually informative. I look forward to talking to Derek in the future!โ
โI used to work with Derek at CDL. He is truly a great leader and inspired me with advice about leadership skills. Highly recommend Derek as a mentor for people who're looking for an inspirational and encouraging chat.โ
