I've come to notice that the individual on my team, who happens to be the only man in our small department, tends to brag about himself, exuding excessive confidence, and monopolizes conversations. He consistently dominates discussions, particularly in the presence of senior leaders. Today, during a meeting where I was working on something with my boss, he essentially hijacked my presentation after my boss called him in, turning it into his own show. How does one deal with that?

You can always interject his bulldozing and remind them it's your presentation.

"Appreciate the passionate discussions but in the interest of time, is like to bring everyone's attention back to the objective of our meeting"

Hi!
If I was in the situation you were in today, I would have interrupted him (in a professional, nice yet firm way) and said how I certainly appreciate his insights and am happy to hear those but I was not finished going through my presentation so once I´m done, we can continue the discussion.
