How I Got here, Episode 69 – Dean Donovan of Diamond Stream Partners

Dean Donovan has one foot in the past and no doubt, one foot in the future. After a five-year career in Bine Consulting, Donvan and his business partner (Brian Flynn) played a central role in creating and supporting the first low-cost carrier Volaris in Mexico in 2004.

DiamondStream Partners, the investment house they built a year ago, has since become a key player in the development of companies and technology in the mobility sector. Converting rough diamonds into “roughly cut gems” is not an easy task, especially in the aviation business, when high costs are associated with creating next generation technology that reduces operation costs and makes it more sustainable.

Investments have included electronic powered systems, autonomous aircraft, software platforms and worldwide delivery services for private carriers. Dean How joins us as the last guest at I Got Here.
