Denis Dennehy
Chief Operating Officer
Key areas of expertise include customer engagement, leadership, strategy, empathy, collaboration, and commitment to excellence. A leadership style that always sets a clear vision and creates a cohesive strategy for improvement and growth has always led to results that have exceeded targets. Consistently high scores in Great Places to Work surveys come from a management style that focuses on supporting people and removing any blockers they may have that prevent their success.
Denis has an extensive background as a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) expert, with 18 years’ experience in RPA customer facing and leadership roles and, in the words of the former Blue Prism CCO was “integral to the success of Blue Prism”. He has set up RPA Centre of Excellences (COEs) in numerous large enterprises, he was central to the creation of Blue Prism’s Robotic Operating Model aimed at making RPA customers successful and scalable and he created Blue Prism’s global Customer Success organisation. Denis is now bringing his knowledge to our customers with the creation of FD Intelligence’s own Automation Success Playbook, a guide to how to be successful implementing RPA.

Dr Gareth Ward
Head of Innovation and Development
Creating large amounts of research data led to the ability to present complicated information to a wide range of audiences, and how the private sector could benefit from Gareth’s experience. He was quickly hired by Morpheus Group as an RPA consultant, and was promoted to senior developer within 3 months.
Subsequently Gareth worked for BAE as a consultant - an opportunity that brought him to Glasgow. He comes to FD Intelligence as Development Manager with a deep knowledge and understanding of UIPath.
