About Darren Rogers
This also I have seen: it is the gift of God that everyone may eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor.\"- Koholet, Ecclesiastes 3:13I have spent 33 years helping connect seemingly small things to do bigger things. I enjoy technical challenges, and have been fortunate to work with some very talented people to create and realize solutions for roofing, composites, carbon products, aerospace + power generation turbines, refractories, and fine ceramics. In my free time, I love teaching The Beautiful Game to young players, walking with my dog, plus exploring philosophy and history. I have lots of experience and even more good stories.Specialties: Leading Technical Teams / Connecting Development with Manufacturing / Process Engineering / Statistics and Numerical Methods / Formulation Development / Compounding, Forming, and Thermal Processes / Ideation / Shoshin and Value Proposition / Coaching and Mentoring
