Owners thinking about stepping back


Dean Saunders is a seasoned sales and growth leader with more than 20 years’ experience helping owner-led businesses scale, transition, and succeed. After two decades leading APAC sales, go-to-market, and partnership functions for high-growth software and services companies, Dean founded Beacon Partners to give business owners a different kind of pathway — one grounded in clarity, practicality, and genuine care for people.

Known for his calm, hands-on style, Dean helps owners reduce stress, unlock value, and move into the next chapter of life without the pressure and noise of brokers or private equity firms. His approach is simple:
people first, legacy matters, practical transformation.
