In September 2020, we brought Derek McLaughlin, Assistant Controller, on board to keep our numbers straight as an arrow! Derek was promoted in April 2026 and now serves as our Controller, overseeing the finance department. See below to read a bit of why Derek has our complete confidence!
Question 1: What separates VUE Health from any other place you have worked?
VUE Health stands out from other organizations I’ve worked at primarily due to the hands-on involvement of the partners. They are consistently willing to engage directly with the team and work through challenges alongside us, regardless of the complexity or scope.
Additionally, the company fosters a strong sense of camaraderie. There is a genuine team-oriented culture where colleagues feel more like an extension of a community than just coworkers. I believe this is largely driven by our CEO's leadership, who prioritizes inclusivity and ensures that employees feel valued.
Question 2: If you could have any superpower at work, what would it be?
The ability to understand a client’s unspoken needs and priorities. Being able to anticipate what a potential or existing client is truly looking for—beyond what is explicitly communicated—would allow me to better support the team in tailoring our approach, strengthening relationships, and ultimately positioning us more effectively to win new business and drive revenue growth.
Question 3: What is the benefit of working remotely? And when you visit Boston, what is your favorite hot spot?
One of the biggest benefits of working remotely, especially in a finance role, is the privacy it offers. Much of my work involves handling sensitive and confidential information and working from home allows me to focus without concern for maintaining that level of discretion.
Additionally, remote work has given me the flexibility to relocate my family from Massachusetts to Florida, which has had a meaningful impact on our overall quality of life.
When I do visit the Seaport in Boston, one of my favorite spots is Rocco’s Sports & Rec. It’s a great place to grab dinner, enjoy the atmosphere, and catch a game—always a go-to when I’m in town.
