| Introduction | My name's Denis Oakley. I've spent a career doing odd things. I've been a post room boy, wound transformers, bathed and fed the sick, been an army reservist, designed safety critical systems, successfully lobbied for changes in the law (the Railways (Interoperability) (High Speed ) Regulations)!, been a systems engineer, a politician and managed corporate security. I set up a steel company, a marketing company, a triathlon company and am, now running a tech startup I've never fitted in particularly, never really wanted to, and so after a number of attempts of being a good corporate suit I'm doing things my way. So far it seems to work. I have the best wife in the world - Senay - who I love to bits, and a daughter Maya who is 9 months going on 15 years. :) |
| Interests | My wife Shen - my constant love and inspiration, Triathlon - middle distance especially off road, my MBA which is distant learning from Warwick Business School, sci-fi and fantasy, economics, ideas, and pretty much anything else that catches my enthusiasm |
