Background

About Darryl Gate

I recently stepped down from a Vice President role after a startling diagnosis of Stage 4 cancer (metastatic melanoma). I will defeat it, to follow my journey you can find me on Facebook. Initial treatments are working well, and while my main focus is personal, I want to keep my mind active, and contribute to the success of Cortex. I helped shape and build this company to what it is today, at the same time this company has helped shaped me into what I am professionally today. I am currently digging into and working through various strategic projects to keep driving value to the organization. As long as I can contribute, I will. I look forward to defeating cancer and growing once again within the organization. • Proven track record as Director of Marketing in both the B2B and B2C space.
