Derek is an experienced sales, marketing, and business development executive with over two decades working with world-leading brands in the media, technology, advertising and cannabis industries. He has led teams at global media & entertainment companies, consumer brands, technology startups, and non-profit organizations. Derek holds a BA from Hobart & William Smith Colleges and an MBA from the Olin School of Business at Babson College. He is a 500-hour certified yoga instructor who did his 200-hour training with Alison West and 300-hour training with Jason Crandell.
