Alun is a seasoned founder and operator who has led venture-backed teams through zero-to-one, scale-up, and turnaround phases – raising €20M+, building category-defining products, and steering cross-functional teams in Europe and the U.S. His background spans deep tech, blockchain, gaming, and platform strategy, with a track record of aligning vision, product, and go-to-market to drive measurable outcomes.
Beyond the headline wins, Alun is a hands-on operator who rolls up his sleeves on the work that actually moves the needle – clarifying positioning, hardening product/market fit, fixing funnels, implementing OKRs and operating cadence, and building processes that tie strategy to cash flow to profit. He’s led fundraising and M&A processes, rebuilt exec teams, and shipped data-heavy, regulated-market products, so companies get both board-level judgment and day-to-day execution without the ramp.
At Virtual CXOs, Alun partners with companies, founders, and boards who need senior leadership now – accelerating strategy, sharpening execution, and building the systems that sustain growth without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Dean is a seasoned executive and transformation leader with over 30 years of global experience spanning telecoms, technology, software, financial services, shared services & BPO, management consulting and ecommerce.

With proven results in startup acceleration, growth scaling, business pivots, customer experience reform, and organisational & operational reengineering, Dean creates meaningful and sustainable change.
Dean supports Virtual CXOs’ strategy and delivery whilst also operating as a Virtual CXO for global clients, typically in a CEO, COO, CCO and similar capacity. His work is grounded in clarity, pragmatism, and a commitment to transformation, assurance, and growth.
Dean’s core business philosophy is people-first. Whether team members, customers, partners, or stakeholders – everyone has a role to play in success. He believes that clear communication, shared goals, and mutual respect are the foundations of strong strategy and operational delivery. The best ideas, the strongest relationships, and the greatest results all start with people. Get that right, and everything else follows.
If we all thought the same way what a boring world that would be. And it wouldn't help our clients much either. Our VCXOs pride themselves on being candid, tenacious and innovative. And above all, focused on delivery.
Some of our VCXO team have worked as consultants, trainers and interim managers to help 100's of clients over the years. Others have held senior positions in a handful of businesses. Our variety is a strength.
Across our core team members we counted over 100 countries where we've helped clients. We've worked with small businesses that want to go-global, and huge international businesses to shape specific functions.
Momentum without compromise.
Business Challenges. New Horizons.
Transformation. High-performance.
