About Derek J. Mayer

I lead Quality, Risk & Excellence (QR & E) at DXC Technology, and I own the for the Chief Administrative Office\'s (CAO) Rhythm of the Business—our Management Operating Rhythm (MBRs/QBRs, SteerCos, decision forums) and the systems that turn strategy into execution (KPIs/OKRs, dashboards, accountability).I’m a people-first operator who favors clarity over complexity. I listen hard, keep communication crisp, and anchor on plain problem statements and measurable outcomes. I’m hands-on in the details when it helps, and out of the way when teams are running.My background spans operations, finance, and analytics across cloud and managed services. The throughline is consistent: make quality non-negotiable, surface risks early and plainly, and run a high-signal operating cadence that enables faster, better decisions—repeatably.If you’re focused on quality, risk transparency, and a strong operating rhythm within a complex enterprise, let’s connect.
