Darcy Donahue
I joined Allied Wire & Cable as a sales representative at our Collegeville, Pennsylvania, headquarters in February 2018.
My strongest career skills are a strong sense of integrity, having good self-organization, being a fun team player, being a quick-on-the-job learner and strong customer-service skills. Because I have honed these skills naturally over the course of my career, I am drawn to sales. I stand out because I genuinely care about my customers and fellow employees and want to do well by them.
Before joining Allied Wire & Cable, I worked in sales for an aftermarket aircraft parts distributor. I am familiar with corporate aircraft such as Hawker 800s, Learjets, Challengers, Falcon 50s and 2000s and some military aircraft. I served in the Air National Guard from 2000 to 2005, working as a supply liaison. I have a certificate of training in supply from the U.S. Air Force. I worked in a warehouse, maintaining bench stock, and also in the administration offices, helping source and order parts to make sure aircraft got off the ground in a timely fashion.
When my two children were very little, I worked various part- and full-time jobs, utilizing my associate’s degree in culinary arts from Delaware Tech (2005) and bachelor's degree in organizational dynamics from Wilmington University (2014). I was contracted by the college to teach kids cooking camps and as an administrative assistant. These experiences helped shape my values and work ethic.
I have two hilarious, energetic kids: a boy, 12, and a girl, 8. I have an amazingly supportive husband, who is also my best friend. We also have a pup named Fozzie. Together, we watch my son play basketball and my daughter swim. We love going to see movies and exploring different cities together as a family. My husband and I love going out on date nights together and exploring new restaurants. We like visiting our family in the Finger Lakes region of New York state in the summer. We are passionate sports fans.
