Born in Lausanne on 4 December 1970,[2] Derder had an Algerian father and a Valasian mother.[3] He was a dual national until 2000, when he gave up his Algerian passport over administrative difficulties.[4] He had two brothers.[5] He had four children in total;[6] two with his first wife Isabelle Falconnier [fr],[7][8] and two with his second wife Mélanie Chappuis [fr].[3]

Education and journalistic career

Derder studied letters at the University of Lausanne and joined its student radio station, Fréquence Banane.[9][10] He began his career with the newspaper La Côte before working at Radio Lac [fr] and Radio Suisse Romande.[3] In 2008, he was named editor-in-chief of La Télé [fr].[11] From May 2017 to July 2018, he was editor-in-chief of Agefi [fr].[12][13] In August 2022, he became co-host of the radio show Drôle d'époque.[14] Two months later, he was named president of the Chambre cantonale consultative des immigrés.[15] In November 2022, he succeeded Niniane Paeffgan as director of Swiss Digital Initiative.[16]

In 2011, Derder was elected to the National Council, where he joined the Science, Education and Culture Committee.
