In the fall of 2000, while working for Akamai Technologies in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Derek was introduced to the practice of yoga by a few of his sales colleagues who were heading out to a Bikram studio near Boston University. “Eat a light lunch” was the only thing he knew about what awaited him that afternoon, and while that first experience didn’t change him overnight, it became a door into a practice that has challenged and changed his perception of what the mind and the body can do and the impact yoga can make on lives.

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. He is the creator and host of the Guys Talking Yoga podcast.
