DéRecco.png

Dr. DéRecco Lynch doesn’t just build strategies — he builds belief. Known for transforming fragmented systems into brands people rally behind, he’s spent nearly two decades turning vision into movements that scale.
A strategist at heart and an engagement architect by trade, Dr. Lynch has led cultural and operational transformations across large, high-impact organizations — aligning people, systems, and partnerships behind bold ideas. His work sits at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and community, creating experiences that drive both growth and trust.


Today, he partners with companies, institutions, and creators to design engagement models that turn audiences into loyal communities.
As Founder of The Excellence Factory, he’s on a mission to help leaders and brands execute big visions — without losing their soul in the process.
