Brian Debreceni brings over a decade of leadership experience in nonprofit administration, executive strategy, and community impact—rooted in a career dedicated to service, development, and empowerment. Currently serving as Chief of Staff at a leading fintech SaaS company, Brian operates at the intersection of strategy, operations, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring C-suite initiatives are executed with precision and purpose.

Before his corporate tenure, Brian spent several years in the nonprofit and arts education sectors, most notably at The Young Americans, where he led key areas such as development, administration, and finance. It was during this transformative chapter—where he and MainStage’s Founder and CEO first met—that his lifelong appreciation for the performing arts was not only reignited but deepened through the power of performance-based youth development. Supporting national and international tours, scholarship campaigns, and talent cultivation initiatives, Brian saw firsthand the profound impact arts education has on self-esteem, discipline, and opportunity.

In his spare time, Brian enjoys league bowling, hiking trails, and weekend swims with his partner and their child—embracing the balance of structure and spontaneity that artfully mirrors the world of theater itself.
