He is a Certified CMMI Lead Appraiser with a 30-year career as Vice President of Program Operations at The Olofson Group, and in senior level consulting positions at Ernst & Young, eLoyalty, Intellicorp, and Black & Veatch. His expertise includes program management, portfolio management, business process transformation, solutions design, systems integration, benefit realization, and health plan operations. In addition to his CMMI credentials, Poinsetta is a PMP, Scrum Master, and Broadsword’s Business Development Capability Maturity Model (BD-CMM) expert.

“Recruiting Darian to Broadsword was the next natural step in our evolution” Dalton said. “We wanted to expand into health care and strengthen our software product development and technology leadership capabilities, and Darian’s unique combination of skills, expertise, and leadership are exactly what we need to grow and succeed in the next decade. We are confident that Darian’s strategic vision for Broadsword will prepare us for the next decade and lead the way as our market continues to grow and evolve.”

I look forward to working closely with our clients to build agility and quality.”
