Vicki Darrah
Founder
Vicki began her career as an executive trainee in New York at Bloomingdales in the late 1960s. She later became an assistant buyer at Bloomingdales. She married in late 1967, moved to Louisville, Ky., and worked as an assistant buyer for a small specialty retailer. Eventually, she and her husband moved to Atlanta, Georgia and Vicki worked for Rich’s as a buyer in the Children’s area. Taking some time off to begin a family, she returned to the business world in 1979 and worked as an outside sales rep in the gift industry developing another rep agency’s business in Metropolitan Atlanta. In 1989, she invested in purchasing an existing rep company in the southeast, changed the name to Darrah & Company, Ltd. and began building one of the top rep agencies in the U.S.

Lindsay DeMyer
President
Lindsay joined Darrah & Co. in May 2002. She grew up in the business and after spending several years after college exploring other career opportunities, she decided to join the family business. She has done an outstanding job establishing herself in her position and despite the fact that she has the burden of being related to the big boss, she has managed to maintain her complete composure. We expect that she will be as successful as her mother has been.

Ashley Hall
Vice President
Ashley originally worked for Darrah in the early 2000s. Fifteen years later and after starting her family and working in the non-profit world, she came back to work for Darrah part time handling the finances and HR. She is a nurse by education but has pivoted slightly over the past 20 years. Prior to working for Darrah & Co., she lead a non-profit housing organization in the inner city of Richmond, Va. While she has little formal experience in the gift industry she has been surrounded by it her entire life. What she lacks in experience she makes up in drive and energy.
