About Darrell T.

As a driven and personable individual, I am always seeking new experiences to satisfy my curiosity in technology, procurement, and business. Initially starting in IT help desk, I have expanded my reach to IT Procurement for both small and large companies. I enjoy the challenges of negotiations and cost savings that most fast paced companies face as they grow. Start ups have been an amazing environment for flexibility and growth, as I develop processes and standards to improve predictability in spend, and create transparency for our IT department.
