About Derek Greer

I am an experienced program director with the exceptional ability to identify opportunities, optimize processes and inspire global teams to achieve innovative results. Throughout my career I have developed a understanding of food development, food safety and manufacturing while being highly skilled at facilitating change and leveraging competencies to turnaround troubled business units and guiding others through growth and expansion. I am a “Possibility Thinker”. I would rather attempt to do something great and fail than do nothing and succeed. Inaction is a killer. The most valuable asset I can contribute to a dynamic company and the sales and R&D departments is loyalty, honesty, a decision making attitude and the ability to create a positive productive work environment where achievement of personal and professional goals is paramount. I believe success is identifying a need and fulfilling it.I would love to have a conversation with how I can do this within your organization. You can reach me at: d••••••••@gmail.com
