Darryl Worsham is the General Manager of GAPVelocity AI at Growth Acceleration Partners (GAP), where he leads the go-to-market strategy, client relationships, and business operations for GAP’s AI-powered application modernization platform. With over 30 years in the software technology industry — including two stints as CEO of privately held companies — Darryl brings a rare combination of executive leadership experience and deep technical market knowledge to the modernization space. Before joining GAP, Darryl served as CEO of companies specializing in enterprise analytics (SaaS/cloud), mobility, and consumer products. His career has spanned the full spectrum of enterprise software leadership, from product lifecycle management and security to business development and revenue growth. At GAP, he leverages this breadth of experience to help organizations understand the strategic and financial case for modernizing legacy applications — translating technical migration decisions into the language of ROI, risk reduction, and competitive advantage that resonates with CFOs and CIOs. Darryl’s writing on the GAPVelocity AI blog reflects this executive perspective. His articles are designed for senior decision-makers navigating modernization choices: the CFO-focused case for .NET 10 adoption, executive guides to .NET platform releases, CIO-level AI strategy, and pragmatic assessments of web development frameworks like Blazor. He also covers niche legacy platform topics like Clarion and PowerBuilder modernization, helping organizations trapped on aging platforms understand their options and the urgency of acting. As General Manager, Darryl oversees the commercial success of GAPVelocity AI’s suite of migration products — including the VB6 AI Migrator, PowerBuilder AI Migrator, Clarion AI Migrator, and ByteInsight codebase analysis platform — while nurturing the client relationships and market positioning that drive GAP’s growth in the application modernization market.
