David Butts

Gianni grew up as an athlete and football player. His early years as a yogi focused primarily on physical postures. When an injury prevented him in challenging asanas, he began to explore yoga more holistically. Nowadays his self-practice mainly involves meditation, pranayama and Vedanta.

Having lived in an ashram at the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, Gianni gained valuable knowledge from Sannyasins - those who have renounced their material possessions and emotional ties so they can devote themselves wholly to the pursuit of spiritual understanding.

Gianni completed his training at the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre and was awarded with the title Yoga Siromani (Crown Jewel of Yoga). He has since studied with mentors from the lineages of Sivananda, Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute and Bihar School of Yoga.

His easy-going and non-judgmental demeanour is coupled with discipline and resilience. Gianni finds fulfilment in seeing others tap in to their potential. To him, real yoga begins off the mat.

Gianni is the Co-Founder of IKIGAI as well as the Director of BKR Group, an entrepreneurial business and investment firm. He previously Co-Founded Hybrid Group, an industry leading events and creative solutions company that created IRIS: Your Escape (Hong Kong's Largest Health & Wellness Festival) and brought Spartan Race (The World's #1 Obstacle Race) to Hong Kong.

He is also a Lululemon Ambassador and in 2018 was awarded as a Generation T lister - a definitive list of young leaders, brightest connectors, creative visionaries, influential innovators, disruptive talents shaping Asia’s future.

David Butts is President Asia Pacific & Group Executive Vice President of the multinational, Hong Kong listed Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd, the fastest-growing and largest cordless battery powered tool and equipment business with a world-class portfolio of brands such as Milwaukee, Ryobi, Hart, and Hoover.

He has held a progression of leadership roles working for TTI, Emerson Electric and Bosch across geographies of North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
