Derek Zar – Australia
President | Opdee—Lead Digital
With 28 years in IT and 20+ years across digital marketing, product development, and cloud architecture, I specialise in transforming mid-market to enterprise businesses from AI-curious to AI-native. Recognised globally as a Trendsetter and Elite Organisation leader (FUELD 2025), I bridge the gap between AI possibility and real-world business outcomes. My expertise spans agentic coding, AI platform integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta), and modernising complex systems into AI-ready architectures. From freight logistics to energy billing, I drive rapid AI adoption through strategic vision, organisational readiness, and technical execution. As a top 1% contributor in agentic development, I help teams move from “should we?” to “we’re leading.” Let’s accelerate your AI journey—securely, strategically, and successfully.
