Coach + Growth Partner
Dean’s a strategic, agile leader with 25 years operating at the intersection of strategy, execution, and leadership across powerhouse financial services, and fintech companies—like Prospa, Humm and American Express.
He’s led M&A, market expansion, product innovation, operations, legal, and investor relations. Known as the ‘grandfather’ of buy-now-pay-later products in Australia, Dean mentors future leaders, challenges the status quo—and still occasionally finds the time to drive race cars.
“Wonderful ability to read the room. Exceptional EQ, always cleverly balancing risk and growth no matter the pressure.”
Decades globally across banking, financial services, and high-growth fintech. Scaling, shaping mergers, building compliance frameworks.
Dean values-driven, and leads by example. He fosters trust and collaboration by truly investing in the success of clients and teams.
Five years at Prospa across CRO and Chief of Staff roles—on capital product roadmaps, regulatory frameworks, and strategic planning.
Camping, wine, and a serious need for speed—Dean has raced cars in a championship and is a former (reformed!?) blackjack dealer.
