“I am honored and humbled to have led DTT’s IT Team for the past 11 years,” says Vic. “Our CEO Sam Naficy has built an amazing business and has given us the resources and latitude to grow our infrastructure to what it is today. IT is a tough job, but overseeing the ever-increasing advancement and efficiency of DTT makes it extremely rewarding. I am so grateful for all those that made this award possible, from our department leads to my lovely wife.”
“DTT is incredibly lucky to have talented people like Vic leading critical areas of our business,” states Sam Naficy, DTT’s Founder and CEO. “Vic and his team persistently implement viable solutions to make sure the needs of both our customers and employees are met. In even the most stressful times, Vic maintains a positive demeanor and leads with a smile, which is truly admirable.”
