Billy Dean
Senior Enterprise Client Executive, Dallas
My wife, Roxann, and I have four amazing children - Ross, Savanna, Molly, and Will. We live in Keller, TX, a suburb north of Fort Worth. We are active in our church where I serve as a Children's host interacting with parents and facilitating games and lesson intro/wrap up. I enjoy camping, backpacking, watching Aggie football, and tech hobbies like home automation, ham radio and fixing stuff I break. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1994 with a Computer Engineering degree (hence the love for Aggie football) and developed professionally at my time at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), Lucent Technologies (now Nokia), British Telecom, and Cloud Technology Partners (who became a part of HPE). Fascinated and focused on helping enterprises accelerate the transformation of their culture, technology, and people, I am a solutions-sales leader with expertise in Cloud, DevOps, Security, Containers, and Collaboration domains. I see the 4th Industrial Revolution that is occurring and know that my clients are undertaking Digital and Cloud transformations. I seek to be a trusted advisor with competence and integrity who brings value through listening, challenging and partnering. Finally, I love to team, collaborate, learn and contribute.
If you had to describe yourself using four words, it would be…
- Active
- Learning
- Friendly
- Trustworthy
What is your favorite weekend trip?
Recently went down to Waco to take my second daughter, Molly, to visit Baylor. Our oldest daughter, Savanna, currently is a student there as well. Was nice to go see the Magnolia square and enjoy all aspects of that budding empire developed by Chip and Joanna Gaines. While the normal weekend events (meals, shopping, strolling) was fun, I really was fascinated by the vision, entrepreneurship, organization, and brand that Chip and Joanna have established.
Sharing our core values is very important to us. What does Passion, Discipline, Innovation, Teaming and Integrity mean to you?
Passion: "A job worth doin' is a job worth doin' well." That is a saying my dad taught me and while it applies to hard work, I know the motivation to do things well and to persist when things get tough is because of Passion. Love that the company's PDITI values start here - because Passion is the fuel for greatness. Discipline: The small things mastered make the great things possible. To do the small things well, consistently, require discipline. Love that Neudesic seeks to operate with Discipline - not to constrain the individual or stifle innovation, but to clarify what great execution looks like and to unlock creativity needed for Innovation. Innovation: Innovation is applying new-thinking, new-methods, or new technology to advance and achieve something different. We need to innovate as much as our clients do. I love that this is a core value because it gives us all permission to think, create, and offer suggestions, no matter what role we are in. Teaming: Consulting and Solution Development is a team sport...with our clients, within our project teams, and across business functions. Just as the members of a body need each other, so too, are all the members of an organization or team. Getting the most out of all the parts while operating like a single unit is hard, but starts with a commitment by all to the team. I'm in! Integrity: Consulting is about TRUST. Our clients are looking for people to partner with and to invest their time and money with, to achieve something they need to accomplish but can't do without us. We cannot compromise our technical recommendations, core values, personal integrity to just win. We WIN by being transparent, honest, and helping our customers and team members to do the Right Things - the Right Way.
