“Derek joined our team at the Google Creative Lab in a strategy/account manager hybrid role, and quickly distinguished himself via his keen insights and ability to organize and lead projects. From communications for Google Photos to large-scale thinking about the very DNA of what makes Google, "Google", Derek improved every project he touched. I happily recommend him here on LinkedIn, and hope to work with him again soon.”

“Derek and I were "partners" at the Duke Career Center when he was an undergraduate student. During my tenure, I saw thousands of students. Derek stands out in my mind as a shining star. He was hard working a creative problem solver and a true collaborator. Despite his busy schedule, he was an eager volunteer for any events we held, a role model to his peers and younger students, and a person that I always felt would graduate and make change in the world. I am lucky to have met him, and excited for what his bright future holds. Any employer who gets him, is lucky.”
