I've had the pleasure of working both for and with Darius at different organizations and could not have asked for a better mentor. He is a visionary leader, dedicated to building strong culture and camaraderie among his staff. His innate ability to relate and connect with employees, clients and counterparts make him a rare find. Our industry is in need of more leaders like Darius — those who will take it back to the basics: focusing on results, core values and team building. Anyone fortunate enough to have worked with Darius would surely agree he's a model leader.
