Derek Gilmore (dtrain)

A digital native with technical leadership experience in start-ups, professional services consulting, and multi-billion dollar technology & financial services corporations. I currently lead Pegasystem's global Digital IT team, which is responsible for the company’s portfolio of Drupal websites. Daily, I ensure effective ongoing operations of Pega's digital technology portfolio in partnership with the Pega's internal stakeholders.

Areas of expertise include:

* Leading high performance global Drupal teams.
* Culture transformation & change management
* High-performance leadership & team development
* Agile processes
* Product management
* Digital publishing platforms
* Localization and internationalization of websites
* Enterprise-level Drupal
* Online community and gamification platforms
* Search engine marketing
* Marcom technology platforms (CRM, SFA, BPM and Marketing Automation)

I take pride in being an authentic team leader, change agent, and user experience (UX) evangelist. Change is what drives me. I thrive on the challenge of getting people excited about the transformative power of technology to change people’s lives for the better. I am also deeply passionate about creating a culture that attracts, nurtures, and retains the best and brightest digital technology and UX talent in the world.
