​

Derrick Clark, business development manager at DEAN Services, is an eight-year veteran in the oil and gas sector, where he drives innovation, growth, and strategic partnerships.

​

At DEAN Services, founded in 1992, Derrick’s primary mission is to boost the company’s revenue and expand its business footprint. DEAN Services offers a wide range of midstream construction, maintenance, and environmental services, with a specialized focus on pipeline and facility services. Their clients, including industry giants from the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry, rely on their team’s adaptability and customer-driven approach to solve complex problems in real-time. And Derrick is at the heart of these partnerships, ensuring the company's continued success.

​

As a business development leader, Derrick is committed to finding new opportunities while maintaining strong relationships with existing clients. He’s not just about increasing sales; his goal is to create sustained opportunities for both DEAN Services and its partners. His experience in entrepreneurship—having started his own oil field service company at the age of 28—gives him an edge in understanding the intricacies of running a business. Derrick and his business partner launched their first company with minimal financial backing and in just 14 months, were able to achieve their first goal of reaching seven figures in revenue. That drive and knowledge are exactly what attracted DEAN Services to bring Derrick on board.

​

“When Anthony from DEAN first approached me to consult, I was grateful for the opportunity. I knew I had some understanding of the business side beyond just sales and targets. Having the experience from starting my own company has really allowed me to appreciate the complexities of running and growing a business. It’s been a valuable learning experience, and I’m continually grateful for the chance to deepen my business understanding.”

 

Derrick’s ability to navigate both the operational and sales aspects of the oil and gas sector makes him a valuable asset to DEAN Services. His extensive network is another key strength. “I’ve got a lot of connections in the industry,” Derrick explains. “If I’m not the guy to help, I probably know someone who can, or I will at least make an effort to connect them to the right person.” This resourcefulness and willingness to help and figure things out—hallmarks of his entrepreneurial spirit—make him indispensable in an industry that is fast-paced and constantly evolving.

​

In addition to his role at DEAN, Derrick serves as a board member for the Permian Basin Association of Pipeliners and was previously awarded the prestigious title of Outside Sales Representative of the Year by Blueline Rental, a nationwide company. His accolades speak to his dedication and success within the industry.

​

Ultimately, Derrick thrives in the challenging, fast-moving world of oil and gas. “Nothing ever goes as planned,” he says. “That’s what makes it interesting. I love the challenges that come with it. Every day is an opportunity to find a solution, to figure out how to make it work.”
