Darrin ("Darrique") Lane Barton
Overview
For the past seven years I have amassed a wide range of skills as General Manager of a boutique hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I have acquired experience in Hotel Management including human resources, operations, marketing & promotions, as well as business development specifically in the Mexican marketplace.
Formerly, as a software professional for over eleven years at Microsoft, I was able to gain extensive experience as a Program Manager and Software Architect, including three years management experience.
