About Dean

Meet Dean

Throughout his career, Dean has embraced passionately the concept of Family Business. He has worked with many of them over that period and has contributed significantly to their success – be it from good to great in profitable businesses – or from loss to profit in a turnaround situation. His expertise in Financial Management, Strategic Planning and Business Growth Solutions has enabled many Family Businesses to realise futures for their Families that may not have been otherwise possible.

Dean believes passionately in Family Businesses setting defined and achievable goals for the business and the family – and then in working with the owners to help them realise those goals, be held accountable for their own success and realise their fullest potential.

Dean’s interests include Travel, Motor Sport, Domestic and International Politics and listening to a wide range of Music. Dean lives in Grasmere, NSW with his wife of 25 years, Trish, and their two sons, Callum and Fraser.
