Derek Lye

I work at the intersection of strategic partnerships, ecosystem development, and market expansion, connecting organisations, people, and opportunities to drive meaningful growth. Over the past several years, I have built experience across APAC in business development and leadership roles, leading regional initiatives, identifying new market opportunities, and building relationships with enterprise and emerging companies. My work has involved: • Developing go-to-market strategies across multiple regions • Identifying and prioritising high-value opportunities • Building partnerships that support long-term growth • Collaborating cross-functionally across sales, marketing, and leadership teams Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong interest in how ecosystems are built and how companies, partners, and markets come together to scale effectively. I’m particularly interested in opportunities involving: • Strategic partnerships • Ecosystem development • Market expansion across new regions • Emerging technology and innovation I take a structured yet adaptable approach, integrating market insight, relationship-building, and commercial awareness to drive sustainable growth. I value working in environments that are collaborative, forward-looking, and grounded in meaningful impact.
