Darryl is a new breed of marketer; recognizing the fusion of strategy, value, behavioural science, digital mediums, traditional outreach and guerrilla tactics. Over his career, he has raised approximately $70 million in venture funding, taken companies public, acquired firms and been acquired. Having his roots in developing advanced manufacturing applications using heuristics and algorithms to optimize productivity, Darryl evolved into the complete technology entrepreneur by owning sales, consulting, product management and marketing at world class companies including Sybase, Cognos, Webplan, CML Emergency Services and Sitebrand.
