Background

About Darren Squires

EXECUTIVE STRATEGY FOR OPERATIONS AND PROFITABILITY As an executive and senior business leader, I direct $100M companies to achieve improvement and success even in the toughest environments. Informing strategy with analytics, team accountability to exceptional results, and the willingness to create value in the face of challenge, I am a go-to leader for growth and turnaround. With deep insight, I learn what makes a company tick, no matter its stage of business growth—I’ve served as an executive in startups, high-growth companies, and turnarounds. But knowing what needs to be fixed is one thing; getting people to rally to the right vision is another. Guiding large global teams to success is my core talent, and it has allowed me to grow revenues and margins irrespective of market conditions. By bringing structure to complex organizations experiencing distress or simply needing to get to the next level, I teach my employees to develop the right analytics, planning, operational programming, and financial goals. The results of these executive strategies are measured in revenue growth over time, cost controls through strong operations and inventory management, and, unsurprisingly, exceptional team cohesion and morale. I have found that when employees understand what is expected of them and where their contributions fit in the larger organization, they are willing to give 110% to the cause. In fact, my mantra is “Always contribute more to the company than you take from it,” and my teams and I willingly go the extra mile. As for myself, I am driven by what I know is possible in every aspect of the business. Thus, I continue to define learning opportunities for myself and my teams and fulfill our natural curiosity about “what could be” drive our achievements year after year.
