Brody Deren

Thriving on ambitious projects

As Chief Strategy Officer at Trility, Brody Deren drives the company’s growth and expands its top-line revenue. A strong cup of black coffee isn’t the only thing that gets him up in the morning – Brody’s motivation stems from working with a team of individuals who are committed to mastering their craft and continuously pursuing excellence. Brody thrives on the energy of ambitious projects that challenge the status quo and push everyone involved to be their best. For him, the real excitement lies in navigating the bumps in the road together, turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

Brody stays informed on industry trends by focusing on the big picture – paying close attention to economic, political, and industry trends at a macro level. He values the insights gained from conversations with clients, peers, and partners, which give him a grounded perspective on how these trends play out in real time.

Outside of the office, Brody’s competitive spirit finds a home in youth sports, where he coaches his kids in baseball, basketball, and football. He loves the challenge of helping young athletes develop not just skills but also character. He also enjoys the adventure of domestic and international travel with his wife and children.  While his days of playing Division 1 basketball for Creighton may be behind him, Brody still gets his fix on the golf course and during fishing and hunting trips. Whether he’s reeling in a big catch or hitting the perfect drive, Brody approaches life with the same passion and drive he brings to his role at Trility.
