I ​am a global technology executive with over 20 years of experience. I am currently Director of Software Engineering at Amazon, leading the Technology function for Payments across the Middle East and Africa. In this role, my aim is to make the payment experience of our merchants (Amazon Payment Services) and customers (Stores) the most simple, affordable, and trusted.

Over my career, I'm honored to have delivered award-winning transformational initiatives that have created competitive advantage, enabled business growth, and exceeded customer expectations.

Known as a forward-thinking problem-solver ― skilled in both business and technology strategy ― I adapt and plan for evolving market needs, delivering initiatives with speed and agility. I am also deeply passionate about building, developing, managing, and leading high-performance teams. A strong communicator and relationship builder, I partner effectively with cross-functional stakeholders and am a trusted advisor within the company.

Ever since I stepped into my first managerial role, more than a decade ago, I quickly realized the profound impact strong leadership has on individuals, teams, and organizations. From that moment, I made it my mission to empower others in their leadership journeys, guiding them to reach new heights in their careers.

In support of this mission, I have developed a community on LinkedIn of over 70K+ like-minded professionals with whom I actively support, engage, and share daily content on leadership, management, and career. I have been recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice (Blue Badge) and ranked #1 LinkedIn Arab World Creator in Management and Leadership. 

Outside of work, I am passionate about everything automotive, especially F1 racing (Forza Ferrari!). I enjoy sports in general, both playing and watching. I also have a keen interest in collecting fragrances, working out with a focus on strength training, and all things food—from learning about it and exploring new cuisines to preparing dishes and hosting gatherings. However, my favorite pastime is spending quality time with my family.

Founder & CEO

Dennis Berry Coaching

In 2000, I was a sales leader at Sysco Denver and noticed that my Regional Sales Managers had nice big offices and pictures of fishing and beaches on their wall.


▪️ I was making about $80k working 60 hours
▪️ They made $200k working only 30 hours
▪️ And, Sysco was a $30B company


I realized then that I if I was going to put in the blood, sweat and tears, I wanted beach pictures and to make more of the $30B.

So, my entrepreneurial adventures began.


Over the last 24 years I have been part of many business ventures including building and scaling 2 multimillion dollar businesses.


One was a rare coin and precious metals business which I scaled from $0 to $3M in ARR with 25% net profit margins in less than 18 months.


The second is my current coaching business which has taken many twists and turns over the last 20 years.


I started as an addiction recovery coach in coffee shops and shared office spaces, and has since evolved to a multi-revenue-stream operation.


In 2022, I realized that Linkedin is more than just a posting or job site so I did A LOT of research and decided to go all in on building my personal brand and audience here on this platform.


▪️ In February, 2023 I had 1500 followers
▪️ In April, 2024 I have 115,000 followers
▪️ I have over 100k newsletter subscribers
▪️ I run multiple business network groups
▪️ I live on the beach in Playa Del Carmen
▪️ I own a marketing/web dev. company
▪️ I increased my revenue by over 500%
▪️ I offer Linkedin Influencer coaching
▪️ I build Epic Brands and Businesses
▪️ I have a Business SKOOL group

If you're interested in learning how I did this, we can set up a call to see if 1-1 OR group coaching is a good fit for you to build/scale a stable profitable online business.

After building a $3M business the hard way (think 16-hour days and endless stress), I learned success shouldn't cost your soul. 

My journey started rough: a former ski racer turned chef, battling addiction by 15, and spending 15 years using substances to mask deeper struggles.

Getting sober led me to "safety" - a corporate job at Sysco making $80K. 

But trading 60-hour weeks for someone else's dream wasn't freedom. 

I built up the courage to quit and launched a rare coin business, scaling it to $3M in annual revenue with 25% profit margins in just 18 months. 

The money was good, but the cost was crushing.

16-hour days, constant stress, and fear about where the next lead would come from.

The wake-up call? 

Rolling my truck at 75mph after a night of heavy drinking. 

I survived, barely. 

That's when I knew something had to change.

Enter LinkedIn. 

While others chased leads through cold calls and expensive ads, I discovered what elite entrepreneurs already knew.

Personal branding is the ultimate client magnet. 

I transformed my approach, and everything shifted.

Within a year, I built a 150,000+ following and a 7-figure coaching business - all through organic LinkedIn growth. 

Now I work 4-hour days from Playa del Carmen, with a steady stream of inbound leads.

But here's what really lights me up: I've helped hundreds of others achieve the same transformation. 

The truth? LinkedIn isn't just a platform - it's a path to the freedom you've been chasing. 

If it could transform my life from rock bottom to abundance, imagine what it could do for you.

Love always,
D.

99% of people want the results.

1% are willing to do the work. 🔥 

Everyone talks about becoming the best in their industry.
 
Very few actually show up long enough to earn it.

Most people chase shortcuts.
 - They jump from strategy to strategy.
 - They quit when it gets slow.
 - They disappear when it stops feeling exciting.

But here’s the truth: 👇 
The 1% are not more talented.
They are simply more consistent.

These 5 habits separate contenders from pretenders:

1/ Show Up Every Day
 ↳ Even when you’re tired
 ↳ Even when it’s boring
 ↳ Success is boring before it becomes rewarding

2/ Stay Resilient When It Gets Hard
 ↳ Setbacks are not signs to stop
 ↳ They’re invitations to level up

3/ Be Relentlessly Persistent
 ↳ Keep going long after others tap out
 ↳ Momentum is built one ordinary day at a time

4/ Do What Others Avoid
 ↳ Hard conversations
 ↳ Hard decisions
 ↳ Hard responsibilities
 ↳ Master the tough stuff and you separate fast

5/ Keep Your Eyes on the Long Game
 ↳ No shortcuts
 ↳ No hacks
 ↳ Just disciplined reps that compound over years

If you want to be in the 1%…
Earn it.
Day after day.
When no one’s clapping.

Are you putting in the work to get the rewards?

#burnout #emotionalintelligence #leadership #focus #entrepreneurship

Neuroscience and Business Development Coach for High Performing Leaders with Burnout or Addictions. Turn Your Chaos into Clarity. CEO, Epic Entrepreneur Media. Founder, Elite Leaders Network.

Most people think success comes from grinding harder.

BUT, TRUE success starts with creativity.

Creativity is the spark behind every great idea, innovation, and breakthrough.

It’s not just painting, writing, or music 🎶 

It’s how you solve problems, lead people, and design your life.

It’s the ability to see connections others miss.
To trust your intuition when logic falls short.

When we lose touch with our creativity, we lose our flow.

We start living in our heads instead of from our hearts.
We trade curiosity for control.

And that’s when life starts to feel heavy and forced. 😢 

Flow isn’t something you chase...
It’s something you allow. 🧘 

It happens when you’re fully engaged, creating, learning, exploring.

When you stop performing and start expressing. 🎨 

Because when you tap into your creative energy, you stop chasing and start aligning.

- Your work feels lighter.
- Your relationships feel deeper.
- And life starts to flow through you, not at you.

Want inner peace?
Want real success?
Reconnect with what makes you come alive.
 
That’s where flow begins... and where freedom lives. ☮️ 

Are you tapping into your creativity?

PS. If you're looking for high level peer support from burnout or your next big business move, I created The Elite Leaders Network.

#burnout #emotionalintelligence #leadership #focus #entrepreneurship

Culture isn’t the beach pictures you have on the wall.

(All leaders and entrepreneurs take note!)

It’s how your employees feel on Sunday night about Monday morning.

If they feel dread? That’s culture.☹️
If they feel excitement? That’s culture too.😎

The best leaders know this.

And they build for it... on purpose.🔥


According to Forbes Magazine, 80% of employees feel dread on Sunday night.

Isn't that both a sad and staggering statistic!?!?!


Here are 5 underrated traits of great culture-builders:👇

✅ They keep promises (especially the small ones)
 ↳ Broken trust starts with missed follow-ups
 ↳ When you follow through, people feel valued
 ↳ Reliability is a culture signal

✅ They protect team energy
 ↳ Meetings have a purpose, or they don’t happen
 ↳ They fight burnout like it’s a real threat (because it is)
 ↳ A healthy culture has room to breathe

✅ They give credit loudly, and feedback privately
 ↳ Recognition in public builds pride
 ↳ Corrections in private build respect
 ↳ Nobody likes being shamed in a Slack thread

✅ They embrace conflict, with care
 ↳ Healthy disagreement makes teams smarter
 ↳ They don’t avoid tough conversations
 ↳ But they lead with empathy, not ego

✅ They make space for real life
 ↳ They don’t punish parents for school runs
 ↳ They understand mental health is health
 ↳ Flexibility is more than a policy, it’s a mindset

The truth:👇
 ↳ Culture isn’t what you say it is, it's how THEY feel!

Have you built a healthy culture❓

The first step is always the hardest.

Not the tenth.
Not the hundredth.
The first.
Why?

Because the first step requires courage you haven’t proven yet.

Most people wait for:
↳ Confidence
 ↳ Clarity
 ↳ A perfect plan
 ↳ The “right time”

But none of that shows up until after you move.

Here’s the truth:
Action creates confidence.
 Momentum creates clarity.
 Movement creates opportunity.

These 5 First Steps Matter More Than Perfect Plans:

1/ Start Before You Feel Ready
 ↳ Readiness is a feeling that arrives after you begin
 ↳ If you wait for it, you’ll wait forever

2/ Take One Simple Action
 ↳ Don’t build the whole staircase
 ↳ Just take one step you can’t talk yourself out of

3/ Let Imperfection Be Your Teacher
 ↳ You don’t learn by thinking, you learn by doing
 ↳ Mistakes are just proof you’re in motion

4/ Be Willing to Look New at Something
 ↳ You can’t master what you won’t try
 ↳ Every expert started as a beginner

5/ Keep the Promise You Make to Yourself
 ↳ Self-trust is built one kept promise at a time
 ↳ When you keep showing up, everything changes

Take that first step.
Even if your voice shakes.
 Even if your knees shake.
 Even if your mind tries to talk you out of it.

You'll look back one day
 and wonder why you waited so long.

Entrepreneurship… it’s not always about creating something brand new. 🚀

Sometimes the biggest wins come from improving what’s already broken or spotting an opportunity others overlook. 👀

Two entrepreneurs can look at the same industry…
One sees a dead end.
The other sees untapped potential.

The difference?
How they choose to approach the problem.

You can use your energy to:
❌ Chase ideas that don’t solve real problems
❌ Get stuck waiting for the “perfect” original concept
❌ Overlook obvious opportunities hiding in plain sight

This will keep you spinning in circles. 😔

OR…

You can focus on finding the cracks and turning them into strengths. 🔥
You can adapt what works, discard what doesn’t, and create value faster.

Here’s how to unlock opportunities without starting from scratch: 👇

1/ Spot the Friction Points
 ↳ Look for pain points customers constantly complain about.
 ↳ Problems are invitations for innovation.

2/ Study What’s Working Elsewhere
 ↳ Adapt proven ideas from other industries to your own.
 ↳ Fresh context creates fresh solutions.

3/ Improve on a Flawed Model
 ↳ If something already has demand, make it better, faster, or easier.
 ↳ Differentiation doesn’t always mean invention.

4/ Keep Asking “What’s Missing?”
 ↳ Even in crowded markets, there are gaps.
 ↳ Fill them with precision and care.

5/ Build with Agility
 ↳ Test, iterate, and refine.
 ↳ Small changes can create massive competitive edges
.
The truth?
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to roll ahead of the pack.

What’s one broken model or hidden opportunity you could transform starting today❓

#entrepreneurship #leadership #burnout #emotionalintelligence #addictionrecovery

Authenticity has no competition.

(I wish I learned this when I was a kid)

Most people spend their lives trying (and failing) to win the game everyone else is playing. 😢 

But here’s the secret: 👇 
↳ You escape competition by playing a different game.

One that only you can win!  

When you find something that feels like play to you (but looks like work to others),
you’ve found your zone. 🎯 

↳ That’s your advantage.
↳ That’s your signal.
↳ That’s your edge.

Because when you’re in that flow state:👇 
✔️ Work feels effortless
✔️ Creativity skyrockets
✔️ You stop chasing and start creating

↳ No one can outwork you when you're being you.
↳ No one can copy your energy, your story, your style.

Anyone trying to compete is already behind.
Because there’s only one you.

The real flex ❓ 
Being so authentic there’s no room for comparison.
Just alignment!

Are you being authentic ❓ 

P.S. We’re hosting a FREE workshop on how to SMASH your goals and 10X your Productivity FAST. Seats are limited. Grab your spot.

Most people think leadership is about being in charge.

High performers know better.

Leadership is about how you show up when it counts. 🔥 

And here’s the truth:
↳ There’s not just one way to lead, but the best leaders have one thing in common:
↳ They choose their style with intention. 🎯

Here are 9 leadership styles that show up again and again among high performers:👇 

✅ The Visionary
↳ They don’t just lead teams, they lead movements. 
↳ They make you feel the future before it arrives.

✅ The Coach
↳ Their superpower? 
↳ Spotting potential before you believe in it yourself.

✅ The Pacesetter
↳ They set the bar high and pull others up by being the standard. 
↳ They’re all-in, all the time.

✅ The Empath
↳ They read the room like a novel. 
↳ People follow them because they feel seen.

✅ The Quiet Leader
↳ They don’t need to raise their voice to make an impact. 
↳ Their calm presence is the loudest thing in the room.

✅ The Strategist
↳ They see patterns where others see chaos. 
↳ They play long games, and they win often.

✅ The Servant
↳ They put people first and lead by lifting others. 
↳ They earn loyalty without demanding it.

✅ The Transformer
↳ They don’t fear change... they thrive in it. 
↳ When the rules shift, they stay grounded.

✅ The Democrat
↳ They ask. They listen. 
↳ They build strong decisions through shared ownership.

Great leadership is situational.
But the mindset? That’s always intentional.

Which leadership style are you using?
