Fredrik Åkerlind
It´s rare that you come across standout talent like Dean. I´ve had the pleasure of working with Dean for a number of years at Telenor. His ability to find creative ways to excel in anything thrown at him is unlike any I’ve seen before and continuously made a dramatic difference in the overall result of our company. Any role requiring stellar skills in managing teams, retention or acquisition sales, strategy & execution, Dean earns my highest recommendation. I truly hope I will have the pleasure of working with him again someday.
