Full name: Derek Green

Role: Managing Director, HL Investments (investment office for the Green Family / Hobby Lobby)

Location: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Previous: Real Estate Analyst, Hobby Lobby; Industrial Engineer Supervisor, UPS; Founder of a services company

Tier: Top-300 (#303)

Derek Green is a member of the Green family — the founders of Hobby Lobby, the world's largest privately held arts-and-crafts retailer (1,000+ stores, 35,000 employees). He serves as Managing Director of HL Investments, the family's private investment office established in 2014 to institutionally manage investments across private equity, real estate, venture capital, oil & gas, and public equities. The firm's stated mission: "We are committed to honoring the Lord in all we do by stewarding all investments in a manner consistent with Biblical principles."


Derek Green grew up within the Hobby Lobby ecosystem — the family business built from a $600 loan in 1970 by David and Barbara Green. He started as a Real Estate Analyst at Hobby Lobby, where he "developed site selection and sales forecasting tools." Before that, he started and sold a services company and served as an Industrial Engineer Supervisor at UPS.

In 2014, HL Investments was established to steward investments outside the core retail business, "with the goal of using ongoing profits to fund ministry investments." Derek became Managing Director, overseeing a global private investment portfolio and serving on multiple boards — both investment committees and philanthropic committees.

Over 11 years, he has built HLI into a respected platform in the faith-driven investing world. Industry peers describe him and his team as "humble, intentional, and curious."

The recognition lens: Born into a family whose $600 loan became a retail empire — and whose stated purpose has always been "honoring the Lord." Derek is the family's investment steward: deploying Hobby Lobby's profits not just for returns but for Kingdom impact. Prepared through operational roles (UPS, entrepreneurship, Hobby Lobby real estate) and deployed as the family's institutional investment leader.

Net worth: UNVERIFIED personally — but manages the ENTIRE outside investment portfolio of the Green family / Hobby Lobby. Given that David Howard Green's net worth is ~$14B and the company generates $4.6B revenue, the capital deployed through HL Investments is likely in the hundreds of millions to billions.

FAITH & ALIGNMENT

DimensionScore (0-10)Reasoning
Truth7Green family commitment to biblical truth; Museum of the Bible; Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case for religious convictions
Virtue8Decades of faithful stewardship; rose through ranks on competence; serves the family mission without seeking personal glory
Faith (broad)9Manages investments for the most generous evangelical family in America; Gloo faith-tech board; deeply embedded in Oklahoma City evangelical community
Flourishing8Gloo = "faith and flourishing" ecosystem; Green family charity funds thousands of ministries; Museum of Bible as cultural flourishing
Sovereignty6Works within institutional framework; not a sovereignty ideologue, but the family's Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case shows willingness to stand independent

Reachability5Private; institutional gatekeeper; not a public figure; must go through proper channels (Gloo events, HL Investments formal outreach, network introductions)
Bridge10ONE relationship = potential access to Green family billions + Gloo platform (450K churches) + Pat Gelsinger + Ziklag + entire Oklahoma City evangelical capital ecosystem
TOTAL80/100ELITE TARGET — bridges massive evangelical family capital + the leading faith-tech platform + AI venture ecosystem

  • Ziklag — Ultra-HNW Christian donor organization (Green family are members/donors); connects to other billionaire evangelical families
  • Bill High — CEO, Legacy Stone; David Green's co-author and advisor on generational wealth transfer and stewardship
  • Billy Wilson — President, Oral Roberts University (Green family network; Oklahoma City)
  • Jim Daly — President, Focus on the Family (Green family network)
  • Museum of the Bible network — major donor community in Washington, D.C. (Steve Green's initiative)

The Green family is among the most publicly faith-driven business families in America. Hobby Lobby is famous for being closed on Sundays, for its Supreme Court religious liberty case (Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, 2014), and for funding the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. The family's stated purpose: "We believe that it is by God's grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured. We seek to honor God by operating according to Biblical principles."

HL Investments explicitly states: "We are committed to honoring the Lord in all we do by stewarding all investments in a manner consistent with Biblical principles." Derek operates within this family ethos — investment as stewardship, profit as fuel for ministry.

Talent at HLI comes from the Museum of the Bible and Victory Family Church — reinforcing the faith integration.

WARM PATH & RELATIONSHIPS

  • Green family ecosystem (David Green, Mart Green, Steve Green)
  • Museum of the Bible (Steve Green — major Green family initiative)
  • illumiNations (Mart Green — Bible translation initiative)
  • Gloo faith-tech platform (450,000+ churches connected)
  • Ziklag (ultra-HNW Christian donor organization — Green family are members/donors)
  • Oklahoma City evangelical community (deep roots)

1. Through Gloo AI Venture Accelerator — faith-driven AI founders program; natural entry point

2. Through Gloo AI Hackathon (October 6-8, 2026, Boulder, CO) — be present where Derek's board company is investing

3. Through Pat Gelsinger — fellow Gloo board member; if Gelsinger endorses Genesis, Derek listens

4. Through faith-tech events — conferences where Gloo/Gelsinger speak; build visibility

5. Through Green family adjacent networks — Bill High/Legacy Stone, Museum of the Bible events

6. Through HL Investments directly — formal outreach via Oklahoma City office

7. Through Ziklag gatherings — if Carter can access this ultra-HNW Christian network


1. Gloo AI Venture Accelerator — Apply as a faith-driven AI founder; this puts Genesis directly in front of the ecosystem Derek oversees as a board member

2. Gloo AI Hackathon (Oct 6-8, 2026) — Be present; demonstrate Genesis's capabilities; meet the Gloo leadership team who report to the board

3. Through Pat Gelsinger connection — If ANY path to Gelsinger exists, use it. He and Derek sit on the same board. Gelsinger's endorsement carries massive weight

4. Bill High / Legacy Stone — David Green's co-author and wealth advisor; connected to the inner circle

5. Ziklag network — If access exists to this ultra-HNW Christian donor community, Derek is reachable through it


Primary: Through Gloo board connection — Derek sits on Gloo's board alongside Pat Gelsinger (former Intel CEO). The faith-tech context makes this the natural introduction path. Gloo AI Hackathons and Venture Accelerator events are networking opportunities.

Warm path: Pat Gelsinger (fellow Gloo board member; former Intel CEO; ACTS 17 speaker) — if a Gelsinger connection exists, it's the enterprise tech credibility bridge.

Ranked fallbacks:

1. Gloo ecosystem (gloo.com; AI Hackathons; Venture Accelerator events)

2. Pat Gelsinger introduction (fellow Gloo board member)

3. HL Investments direct (Oklahoma City — institutional approach)

4. Ziklag connection (if Carter has access — Green family are members)

5. Faith-tech conference / Gloo-sponsored events

Reachability challenge: 6/10 — not publicly accessible. Must come through faith-tech ecosystem (Gloo) or institutional channel.

ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY

1. Apply to Gloo AI Venture Accelerator FIRST — This is the most natural, non-threatening entry point. It puts Genesis into the ecosystem Derek's board company is actively cultivating

2. Attend Gloo AI Hackathon (October 6-8, 2026, Boulder, CO) — Be present, demonstrate capability, build relationships with Gloo leadership who report to the board

3. Position Genesis as complementary to Gloo, not competitive — Gloo is the PLATFORM; Genesis is the AI BRAIN that could power parts of it

4. Build the relationship slowly — Derek is a gatekeeper, not a speculator. This is a 6-12 month cultivation, not a cold pitch

5. Demonstrate operational seriousness — His UPS/real estate background respects EXECUTION over vision decks

6. Connect faith commitment early — He evaluates everything through "does this honor the family's values?" lens

7. Respect the hierarchy — Derek reports to Scott McLain and ultimately the Green family. Don't try to go around him; go THROUGH him
