A native of St. Louis, MO, Daryl studied
at the University of Missouri, graduating in 1984 from
the Business School with a Bachelor of Science degree
in Accountancy. Daryl recalls one of his most memorable
moments was his graduation - an event that brought to
close four very enjoyable years of study comprising many
laughs and a lot of hard work.
Since this time, Daryl has carved a very successful
career with Enterprise Rent-A-Car. He joined Enterprise
in 1986 as a Group Auditor in the corporate office based
in St. Louis, before, opening Enterprise's operation
in New York City as a Regional Controller in 1988. Then
in 1994 Daryl returned to the corporate office as a Corporate
Business Manager. As a Corporate Business Manager Daryl
not only worked with all the business managers in a specific
territory within the US, he was also responsible for
project management for a number of information system
initiatives, as well as overseeing other new corporate
initiatives and their successful rollout to the company's
100 plus divisions.
Daryl was promoted to Assistant Vice President- Business
Management in 1996. Daryl is one of the original Enterprise
employees who relocated to London to open Enterprise's
first oversees corporate office in September 1997. In
February 2005 Daryl was promoted to Vice President – Finance
UK/Ireland.
The staff and students of the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture
Center are proud of the accomplishments of Mr. Daryl
Scales and look to him as a success story for future
generations of Black students at the University of Missouri.
Daryl has not forgotten where he came from and in 2009
answered the call from the GOBCC for donations from Black
alums with a generous gift of $4,000. |
