Darrell is always focused on obtaining the right solution for the company and getting that solution implemented with the right partner. His negotiations are focused, friendly and reasonable but always expecting the lowest cost and highest level of service for the company.

My team relied heavily on this team to provide best in-class sourcing solutions for packaging, supplies, warehouse automation, and material handling equipment. Through his leadership significant annualized savings was achieved through detailed analysis, effective RFP processes and execution. He is methodical in his approach to problem solving and demonstrated a clear focus on delivering beneficial outcomes and solutions in the categories he managed. His willingness to “get into the weeds” not only helped identify unknown opportunities but also allowed him to build stakeholder engagement, success metrics and establishing the clarity of roles and responsibilities needed to deliver sustainable and successful outcomes. He has a tremendous level of experience across a broad portfolio of categories.

Well versed, skilled, organized and professional. I highly recommend Darrell. It’s is that simple.

As a prior client of Darrell's, we benefited from his business acumen, professionalism and leadership presence, which he combined a "rolling his sleeves" work ethic. He performed meaningful and influential procurement analysis, spend categorization, and represented cost benefit opportunities and scenarios in compelling presentations to all levels of client senior leadership, up and through the C-Suite. His influencing skills are fully supported by data analytics. He is personable and engaging to work with.

It was very easy to identify that his analytical skills and leadership are part of his strengths. He is a team-player and is open to share his knowledge. Definitely, Darrell can be a true asset for any company.

Darrell is an key asset to any project or organization he touches. Data driven and results oriented Darrell is able to break down complex problems efficiently. His ability to clearly communicate with many diverse industries across varied management systems is an attribute not easily replicated by others.

I've had the fortune to work with many clients in my career, but rarely have I experienced working with someone as collaborative, strategic, fair, and friendly as Darrell. Darrell led a very successful contract re-negotiation with our company - one that was a true reflection of a mutually-beneficial, sustainable partnership. My boss and I often refer to Darrell as the perfect professional to work with - one who always looks at the bigger picture and keeps a cool head. Count on us for a stellar reference for Darrell Stempke!
