Hi, I’m Derek, the founder of Genesi & Co. I love seeing what something could become - and figuring out how to get it there.

Over the past decade, I’ve built my career in management, hospitality, sales, and events, guiding hundreds of clients, leading teams, and helping venues improve how they operate. With experience managing more than 100 events a year, I know how to connect a creative vision with the budgets, systems, and details that make it happen.

Along the way, I kept seeing people with ideas they cared deeply about who needed help finding a path forward: small business owners ready to grow but unsure what needed to change, and event clients excited about a meaningful day but overwhelmed by where to begin. I founded Genesi & Co. to offer the experienced, approachable, hands-on support I saw people needing.

I care about the work because I understand what’s behind it - your time, your investment, and something that matters to you. I bring an eye for design, practical experience, and a personal commitment to doing things thoughtfully. We’ll build on what you’ve started, find solutions that fit, and create something you’re proud of.

Big visions. Handled with care.
