Dean Martin is the Founder and President of Global Advisory Partners LLC.

​

With 26 years as an institutional investor, Dean served as Senior Portfolio Manager - Global Equities at the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB), one of the world's most respected pension funds with over $150B in assets. There, he was the primary decision-maker for buy/sell allocations across multi-billion-dollar portfolios, reviewing thousands of management presentations, earnings calls, and investor meetings.

​

Dean's authentic buyside perspective—gained from actually allocating institutional capital—forms the foundation of Global Advisory Partners. Dean helps senior executives (CEOs, CFOs, IR leaders) become "Buyside Ready" through personalized advisory that bridges the persistent disconnect between corporate messaging and what truly drives institutional investment decisions.

 

Key differentiator:  Dean provides customized previews of challenging buyside questions + direct, candid feedback on management's responses—iterative coaching that sharpens answers, eliminates surprises, and builds lasting credibility.

​

The firm delivers measurable outcomes: maximized equity valuation, reduced share price volatility, and stronger, more effective investor engagement — particularly for small- and mid-cap companies (including pre & post-IPO) as well as international issuers seeking deeper U.S. institutional traction."

​

Dean holds an undergraduate degree, MBA in Finance and Investments from the University of Wisconsin, and specialized executive training. He is based in Eagle River, Wisconsin.
