We have known Derek since early in his previous role at StockX, where he led their EMEA team. He now heads up UNiDAYS marketplace, the world’s largest Student Affinity Network, as their Global Managing Director. One thing is for sure: wherever he goes, Derek confidently sits firmly at the intersection of creativity, culture and business, determined to create genuine positive impact. We’re looking forward to learning something new from Derek when we speak with him.

When talking with Derek, we went deep in right from the start. We discussed the nature of creativity along with how important it is to have different mindsets and thinking patterns in a team. It was great to get real about transparency as well, discussing the downsides as well as the upsides.
Derek has a passion for philosophy and seamlessly joins the dots with the decisions he makes in his day-to-day life. This was a really enjoyable talk for us that reminded us of how important it is to consider human philosophy and psychology concepts in a business environment.
