About Joe Darza
I am an entrepreneur-minded professional with a passion for using today’s ever-evolving FinTech tools to provide actionable recommendations to business leaders. As a former finance professional I thrive in using my understanding of accounting and finance processes to make recommendations in the process automation space. Next to tech, my other passion is people. I enjoy working in an environment in which I am able to interact with many different types of people and personalities. With my favorite quote being,\"If we agreed on everything, only one of us would be necessary.\" I enjoy working with people who think differently and disagree often because it enables me to form a better understanding of my positions on various topics. My third passion is altruism. The ability to give back to communities that have supported and currently support me in my growth as a person is something that inspires me. Contributing to organizations with time, talent, and treasure is one of the most rewarding endeavors. I believe that, similar to investing, there is no better time than the present to give; this is something I encourage other young professionals to do as well. I currently serve as Chair of the Summer Search Seattle alumni board and it has contributed greatly to my growth as a person. Specialties: Inside Sales, investments, Japanese, accounting, Microsoft Excel, Networking, Public Speaking, real estate, sales strategy, Cebuano, Business Analysis, Contract Management, Credit, Customer Relations, due diligence, equities.
