One of SA's leading voices on AI, as Daily Maverick writer, corporate trainer, international keynote speaker and moderator, Dean also owns MediaWeb Group, MySociaLife, and Luxury Travel Editors.
I help organisations understand, adopt and implement artificial intelligence through enterprise AI transformation, executive training and keynote speaking locally and in Europe.
As a Chief AI Strategy Officer, I work with senior leadership teams on AI strategy, agentic AI, intelligent workflows, workforce capability and responsible implementation.
With more than 25 years of business experience, having built and led four marketing agencies, I combine commercial strategy with practical AI expertise.
In October 2026, I moderated two sessions at World Summit AI in Amsterdam, including conversations with senior executives from Expedia Group and Telnyx.
I am also a regular contributor of AI commentary to Daily Maverick and founded MySociaLife, whose work in digital education has received 16 international award nominations.
I am available for corporate AI keynotes, executive leadership briefings and practical enterprise AI training in South Africa and internationally.
