Darren started her career in audit at Deloitte & Touche, LLP, before transitioning into private industry where she held senior financial management positions at several large corporations including Chrysler, Takata and Armstrong-White.

Global integrated circuits and semiconductor manufacturer International Rectifier has been a BlackLine customer for a year and a half, using the software across19 sites.
“Though we’ve had virtually no technical support issues, when we do call BlackLine, the support services team is always very responsive and helpful,” Joe Sorrentino, senior manager, corporate accounting, International Rectifier, said. “It’s great to know that, more often than not, there’s another accounting professional on the other end of the line who understands the entire accounting process and ‘gets’ what we are trying to accomplish with the software.”
