“I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Derek Williams for any opportunity he seeks. I had the pleasure of working cross-functionally with Derek for 9 months at Sanofi on the launch of a new Diabetes drug. I was consistently impressed by his leadership, teamwork, mentoring skills, and commitment to his community, company, and peers. Derek is a true motivator and champion. He has a knack for bringing people together and creating a positive and collaborative work environment. In our geography, Derek embodied true team-selling spirit by ensuring that we were all aligned and leveraging our individual knowledge and resources to achieve our goals. The success of the drug launch was directly impacted by Derek's leadership and collaborative initiatives. Derek is also an elite mentor and advocate for professional development. He takes the time to understand the individual needs and goals of a person, and provides them with the support and guidance they need to succeed. For example, Derek took the time to mentor me in my role as a pharmaceutical sales representative, keeping my career map in mind. He provided me with valuable training and coaching, and helped me to develop my skills and knowledge. He was never stingy about sharing his unique insights given his past experience in the same role and geography, his ultimate goal was always shared success. He also provided me with direct feedback and advice on my career path, such as encouraging me to join Toastmasters Public Speaking, of which he is an active and leading member of his local chapter. I have no doubt that Derek would be an invaluable asset to any team or initiative. He is a passionate, dedicated, and results-oriented leader with a proven track record of success. I highly recommend him for any opportunity he seeks.”
