ABOUT DEAN SMITH

I design and deliver people strategies that transform organisations. For 15+ years I’ve worked at the intersection of leadership, change management and technology in FTSE 100s, consulting firms and regulatory environments.My focus is on enterprise change, organisational design and leadership development that sticks - strategies that cut through complexity, drive adoption and deliver results. Highlights include leading a 52-strong team at McDonald’s UK & I, building an award-winning change & innovation function at the FCA, and modernising leadership and culture at James Cropper PLC.I bring consulting discipline with in-house pragmatism: frameworks that work in practice, not just on paper. Coaching leaders is a passion - helping individuals unlock solutions, take accountability and accelerate change.Based in the Lake District, I balance family life in the outdoors with supporting high-performing, growth-focused organisations. Alongside senior roles, I also advise organisations on leadership, change and organisational effectiveness.
