Under his leadership, McDermott has adopted the unofficial mantra of #AlwaysBetter, representing the Firm’s commitment for constant improvement with the goal of delivering ever-greater value for our clients, people and communities.

He presents regularly at private equity, national health care and leadership-focused conferences on a variety of subjects.
