About Derek
Having worked with SME owners in the early part of my career in driving and educating businesses about productivity gains, I'm now enjoying the opportunity at Xero to do same for SMEs in the accounting industry. Having worked in this industry for more than 5 years now, I believe there is still more work to be done, and greater productivity gains can be achieved through greater use of technology.
I like to listen to our accounting partners and stakeholders, share my knowledge and exchange views on best practices for the industry. And I hope I can make a difference to all our accounting partners, regardless of the stage you are at, in the technology adoption curve.
Outside of work, I love to race in marathons, ultra marathons, and more recently, I'm aiming to become an Ironman. If you see me cycling on the roads during the weekends, do shout out to me.
