Derek Banker is a globally seasoned executive, strategist, and thought leader with over three decades of experience driving transformation, cross-border growth, and M&A initiatives across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
​
Having spent more than 20 years leading teams and shaping strategy in global hubs such as London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, and Sydney, Derek brings a rare international perspective to operational leadership and value creation. As Regional CEO/COO of Williams Lea, he oversaw large-scale enterprise transformation across diverse markets, later applying his expertise as Senior Director at Benchmark International to help mid-market firms navigate strategic sales and integrations.
​
Derek’s work focuses on rethinking how organizations identify, measure, and leverage intangible assets—from intellectual property and data capital to human-centric capabilities and operational culture. He believes that traditional valuation metrics often miss where real enterprise value lies, and he advocates for frameworks that bridge strategy, execution, and the modern innovation economy.
​
Today, Derek shares insights, analysis, and strategic frameworks through his advisory work and his writing, challenging leaders to look beyond surface metrics and embrace transformation as a catalyst for sustainable growth.
