Testimonials

He’s extremely knowledgeable across key areas of building a business, which allowed him to see, explain and guide me through a “glass ceiling” the business was coming up against.

I didn’t have the experience to fully understand the problem beforehand, but Denis helped clarify it to me and provided actionable steps to gather data and analyse it. To help me make the best decision with the full information.

Thank you very much Denis, I really appreciate your time and expertise with this.

Denis has always shown me that he’s a passionate person and because of this and his sensitive and compassionate desire to help others he’s someone that can be depended on to step up and deliver an idea, a complete solution or just some kind words of encouragement that can really work for you. He’s certainly helped me on numerous occasions and I’m sure he can help others in a similar way.

Denis has the unique ability to quickly give you not only a succinct strategy but the right one. He’s not only passionate about helping start-ups he is generous in giving both his time and knowledge. Would highly recommend to anyone needing strategy advice and actionable ideas that work.

Denis cuts through confusion and identifies significant issues. His input is practical and always useful. I consider him an invaluable part of my team.

Denis is an approachable person, warm and welcoming one. With his vast knowledge and experiences, he always shared it without hesitation. He is always with a new ideas. He is an analyst, a thinker, with one of a kind methods, a thought far away from the box. He is a visionary, a very good leader. He is open to discuss with anything. He’s like a Jedi master who thinks like a Sith.

Denis took over management of Oakley Steel in 2012. He made a lot of changes to the business and these improved our performance in almost every respect. More leads meant more sales. Better focus meant more sales and lower costs. Process improvements cut time, wastage and errors. The productivity gains were immense.

He’s really good to work with because he’s hugely optimistic, has loads of energy and his passion for whatever he’s doing shines through. Amazing!

Denis was able to motivate a diverse group of people to create a business resilience plan for a large complex division. This was despite a great deal of change taking place at the same time. He is a broad thinker and strong on initiative to drive results.

Denis is an archetypal ‘out of the box’ thinker – in fact he is never in the box. Give him a tried and tested way of doing things that everyone uses, and he will come up with something new – and better! Ask him a question, and he will start by telling you the question you really should have asked. His energy is seemingly limitless, but he doesn’t waste it and is ruthlessly focused on what he is really trying to achieve. I would recommend Denis to anyone as a trustworthy, hardworking and inspirational business partner.

Denis steered the company from a struggling enterprise to a thriving player. The company had tricky relationships both on the supplier-side and internally and internal processes which were very labour intensive and time consuming. Growth required a clear core-market focus, the careful establishment of key alliances and the automation of internal delivery processes. Denis’s consistent focus on the key elements of the business has left it on a sure footing for yet more growth.

I was expecting him to give a more general help in our first conversation, but after viewing our business canvas, and asking a few questions to clarify some parts, his advice and help was spot on, 100% custom made for us. I took a lot out of our hour long conversation, and implemented some things immediately, and I could already see a huge difference in how people perceived us, and interacted with our brand. I appreciate his time and he’s a wonderful mentor.

Have known Denis for over 2 years now and have seen him work with reputable startups from different industries and suffice to say since his involvement, they have all achieved huge successes. We’ve discussed how we could improve day-to-day operations, sales strategies and even online reputation management over at my own company, MyBump Media — and received unique and priceless take-aways from our discussions. Denis is definitely an out-of-the-box thinker and very results oriented.

Denis helped me explore my current business strategy and opened my eyes to a great potential path to dramatically grow my business. Insightful and honest, he provided great perspective that’s sure enhance my business success.
