Hello, my name is Darren Herman and I am an Operating Partner at Bain Capital. My primary focus area is digitally enabled growth and infrastructure. Each week, I write the Operating Partner newsletter. When taking a break from work, I like to spend time with my family, ski, play tennis, sail, and go to Dave Matthews Band shows.

🎾 ⛳Silicon Alley Sports: Tri-state (NY, CT, NJ) area digital executives and investors come together to play sports and raise money for various charities. Established in 2004, we have donated money to charities including but not limited to the American Cancer Society, Robinhood, Charity Water, Meals on Wheels, Venture for America, Mozilla Foundation, and others.

🏀📈 Midlife Crisis Cards: My mostly NBA/NFL/MLB sportscard collecting and trading hobby. I use this hobby to dogfood my own social, digital, commerce, product and marketing strategies to keep me sharp. The list of cards in the collection is currently here.
