About Derek Powers
I have always been fascinated by the power of words and conversation. The ability to connect with an individual - to aid, to inspire, to teach - with the force of language alone is almost magical. I have been selling SaaS for the past 7 years with a primary focus on cloud and data solutions.Beyond that, I excel at research, analysis and effective written communication. An English Literature degree imparts the ability to synthesize large amounts of data and information into relevant, concise and actionable reports. It is truly my passion to connect with people and provide meaningful solutions to their problems.
