Demian’s journey began as a professional chef, where 12 years in the fine dining world exposed him to both the best and worst examples of leadership and the impact it has on teams. These experiences were what first got him curious in leadership and team dynamics. More recently, he was General Manager at a SaaS startup specializing in leadership and team development tools, as well as at an executive development institute, working closely with CEOs and executives across the APAC region.

When he’s not working, Demian recharges by spending time outdoors, enjoying everything New Zealand has to offer—hiking, surfing, free diving —and loves spending time with his partner and daughter.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in psychology and biological sciences from the University of Waikato, a master’s in management from The University of Auckland Business School and is a certified HR OD Practitioner.
