Dr. Derrick Daye believes these are often brand problems disguised as business problems. As Founder and Managing Partner of The Blake Project, Derrick has spent more than two decades helping leadership teams strengthen competitive positioning, improve pricing power, and create enterprise value. His work sits at the intersection of strategy, growth, and brand leadership.
