Dean Bachelor, Chairman

Platinum Group's mission — 'Meaningful CapitalismTM' — provides the impetus for us to seek ways to bring meaning and value to every relationship, every client and every situation.

Dean has been named CEO of more than two dozen companies in a turnaround. He has a knack for discovering, unlocking and focusing on the true, inherent value of every organization, then finding unique and creative ways to restore and manage shareholder value. A consummate turnaround artist, Dean often radically changes the fortunes of those who are experiencing extraordinarily difficult times. He received the Turnaround Management Association's Turnaround of the Year (2004) and Transaction of the Year (2009) Awards.

As founder and Chairman, Dean works with each of the firm's Managing Partners to restore shareholder value in a turnaround, enhance value during a consulting engagement, or realize value through Platinum Group's equity funds.

He is involved in several faith-based organizations, enjoys boating, bicycling, tennis, riding his motorcycle on country roads, snorkeling and diving on the reefs near his home in the Bahamas and spending time with his family, including his wife of more than 40 years, four grown children and nine grandchildren.

Real Story #5:
An innovative, “out of the box” business transition story

Trusted advisors are welcome accompanied by a client or prospect. Please come and learn from Bruce’s point of view:

  • Why it is important to listen to your Trusted Advisors
  • If one road for selling your business isn’t working, there might be a different approach
  • Timing is everything— the importance of timely action
  • What do you do with your life when you have 70 additional hours a week at your disposal?
