Created 10 years ago in Business / Getting Started
As founder or co-founder of more than a dozen successful e-commerce and technology companies, and advisor to many more, I've learnt a lot about what works and what doesn't. Legal structures, go-to-market strategy, how to handle partners, operations, best practices on handling rapid growth, how to create a great company culture, and much more.

Darryl is a true GURU when it comes to the architecture and implementation of information systems. Call centers in general require different systems in order to smoothly operate. At Aragon Darryl was always willing to create new systems in order to facilitate our day to day activities which allowed us to successfully navigate our sometimes chaotic industry. He has the unique ability to convert an overwhelming amount of data into effective business knowledge. The key skill I have learned from Darryl was the ability to differentiate noise from effective signals. After a hectic day he would always offer us an espresso with chocolate beans. If the opportunity would present itself, I would without a doubt work alongside him again.

I really enjoyed working with him and without a doubt he is a very fun guy in general, pleasantly charismatic, extremely knowledgeable and articulate, and a definite resource expert in many areas. I have seen him strive with great success over the years in growing his business. I would never hesitate to work with him on any common projects and entrust into his care any challenging business and technology issue. He inspires confidence and he can deliver!!
