Darlene Cresswell

Seasoned Professional in Software Development, 3PL, and Content Management | Team Builder and Creative Innovator

With over 25 years of experience in software development, 3PL (third-party logistics), and content management, I’ve recently taken the time to reflect and appreciate the success I’ve built throughout my career. Now, I’m enjoying my creative passions while continuing to apply my vast skill set in various areas.

My expertise includes project management, team leadership, customer management, software and website development, conference and event management, content creation, customer service, graphic design, SEO compliance, social media management, business analysis, blog writing, content curation, and artisan craftsmanship.

In any role, I take pride in wearing many hats. I specialize in assembling and managing teams that work cohesively, whether for small or large-scale projects. My approach is process-driven—if there isn’t a process in place, I create one to ensure consistency and quality. I strive to deliver exceptional results that meet both my standards and the expectations of clients and their sponsors.

Risk management is key to my philosophy, ensuring that every project has a solid backup plan to mitigate potential risks. I am committed to meeting deadlines and delivering as promised, every time.

Outside of work, I pursue my creative hobbies and have discovered a new passion for diving into the deep blue sea!
