DEREK LAMB

General Manager People & Culture

After a career working in profit-orientated organisations, Derek’s decision to join the ConneXu team was driven by a desire to contribute to improving the quality of people’s lives. Derek thrives on creating systems and environments which support teams to grow personally and professionally, thus building an organisation’s strength and ability to achieve their goals. And as ConneXu’s organisational objective is to support people to live their lives, their way, it was a win-win for him.

Derek comes to ConneXu with a wealth of experience in the human resources and organisational development realms. He has worked in multiple industries, as both a consultant and internally within organisations, including as Head of People, Culture and Reputation at Acrow Limited, and as Organisational Development Manager at Hawkins Construction. He has also held several Training Manager roles.

Derek holds a Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Management and is an ICF (International Coach Federation) Accredited Coach.

As a father of five, with 4 daughters and 1 son, it is no surprise that he enjoys keeping busy. Outside of work, Derek enjoys keeping fit and can often be found running, cycling, hiking or camping. He also loves expanding his thinking and perspective on things, and enjoys meeting new people, philosophy and self-development, as tools for doing so.
