Bio
Gavin Quinnies
I have had the joy of working with Derek for nearly 15 years in the health and well-being industry. Together we have run workshops and speaking engagements to employers, students, sales teams and wellness practitioners...on topics as diverse as Return on Investment, Risk Burden interpretations, the convergence of behavioral health and physical wellness, and guiding C-suite an wellness strategists on wellness programming. We have also developed client and industry specific tech tools together, including a "HealtheFit" tool that tracks exercise measurements, and a Happiness Scale, which measures past present and future happiness. We also share a lifelong love of soccer and coaching soccer, which has led to communication outside of work. Derek is a thoughtful leader, solid in his industry knowledge and breadth of application of wellbeing, in practice, in work and in life, and a huge asset to any team of any type.

Derek brings a refreshingly genuine and unique approach to not only moving the needle on modern wellness, but also to strategies and innovations that will bring healthcare where it needs to be in today’s ever-changing world. Any team Derek is formally a part of, or has the pleasure of partnering with him will find (and have found) themselves ahead of the curve.
