I’m Dean.
I help organisations figure out what AI can, and should, do for them, and then make it happen. Over 17 years I have scoped, designed and led more than 30 AI deployments across healthcare, defence, financial services, government and global enterprise. Not pilots or proofs of concept that go nowhere, but working systems that reduce workload, improve outcomes and generate measurable results.
Before this I built and sold two technology businesses. I founded ubisend, a conversational AI platform, scaled it from zero to acquisition in 2022, and before that built and exited a FinTech business in 2014. Building both sides of the table gives a perspective that is genuinely uncommon in consultancy: I understand the commercial reality of running a business where delivery quality, responsiveness and client relationships directly impact revenue, and I understand what it takes to build something that actually works under real operating conditions.
I started dkww because UK SMEs are now dealing with exactly the operational pressures larger organisations faced years ago: staff using AI informally without governance, high-value people buried in repetitive admin and leadership under pressure to improve productivity without endlessly growing headcount. The difference is that SMEs rarely have the internal capability, budget or time to navigate it alone.
My goal with you is to bring the deployment depth, commercial realism and implementation discipline from my background in a way that is practically delivered and designed to build internal capability rather than consultancy dependency.
