Dennis brings a broad base of commercial knowledge to our Board, courtesy of his rather unique blend of large-corporate and small-business experience acquired during his 36 year career in the Financial Services profession. Dennis owned and managed a local Gold Coast based financial advice firm for nearly 20 years, before his decision to merge with other likeminded high-performance firms to create one of the largest financial advisory businesses in Australia (he is still on the Board of Directors of Invest Blue). Prior to his time in private practice, Dennis held various domestic and international executive roles for one of Australia’s oldest and largest financial services organisations, with one of his most treasured experiences being a Director role which required him to live and work in Tokyo.
