Results
Founder – HealthTech Startup
“We were growing faster than our systems could handle. Darrell stepped in as our fractional CEO and within weeks, we had clarity on priorities, alignment across leadership, and a plan we could all commit to. Six months later, we’ve doubled revenue and I’m sleeping through the night again.”
— CEO, Series A HealthTech Company
Investor – Venture Capital Firm
“We brought in Darrell to stabilize a portfolio company that was burning cash and losing key staff. Darrell aligned the exec team, cut unnecessary costs without killing momentum, shipped products and rebuilt investor confidence. He’s now our go-to for high-stakes situations.”
— Managing Partner, Early-Stage VC Firm
CEO – Waste Management Company
“We knew what we wanted to achieve, but couldn’t turn vision into execution. Darrell gave us both: a roadmap and the confidence to follow it. His leadership was the missing piece.”
— CEO, Waste Management Organization
Chief Product Officer - Family Wine Label
“Our heritage was strong, but our growth had stalled. Darrell brought a fresh perspective and a disciplined approach to our marketing and go-to-market strategies. He helped us clarify our story, target the right audiences, and execute with precision. Within a single season, we saw record engagement from distributors and a significant lift in sales.”
— Chief Product Officer, Multi-Generation Family Winery
“At Clearpath, we believe clarity is the foundation of great leadership. Aligned leaders move companies forward, disciplined execution turns vision into reality, and calm focus transforms crisis into opportunity.
You don’t need more noise — you need the right leader, right now, to chart a clear path that everyone can follow.”
