Platinum Group’s Founder, Dean Bachelor, passed away in 2021. Dean created the foundation that supports Platinum’s ongoing success. We honor him here.
Dean Bachelor
“Platinum Group's mission — Meaningful Capitalism™ — provides the impetus for us to seek ways to bring meaning and value to every relationship, every client and every situation.”
Dean had been named CEO of more than three dozen companies in a turnaround. He had 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 changed the fortunes of those who were 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, Dean worked 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 a transaction or capital formation.
He was involved in several faith-based organizations, enjoyed 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 45 years, four grown children and nine grandchildren.
