Independent Diplomat (ID) is a unique non-profit venture in the world of international relations, diplomacy and conflict prevention. ID delivers advice and assistance to governments, political groups and NGOs across the three pillars of contemporary diplomacy: political and diplomatic strategy, international law and public diplomacy.

Before joining ID, Dean had over five years' experience in the Australian foreign service, most recently as adviser on economic and environmental affairs and law of the sea at Australia's Mission to the United Nations in New York.
