I’m Dwain McDonald, business leader, tech innovator, and delivery sector pioneer.
I spent 32 years as CEO of DPD UK, transforming it into the nation’s favourite and fastest-growing parcel delivery company. We pioneered game-changing innovations like Predict, FollowMyParcel, and the YourDPD app (now 6+ million users), earning recognition as Retail Week’s ‘Tech Pioneer of the Year’ in 2017.
Today, I’m back in the thick of it with multiple leadership roles: Independent Non-Executive Director at Royal Mail and International Distribution Services, Managing Director at Team Global Express (leading our charge across Asia and Australia), and Executive Lead at Made in Stoke, where we’re making a real difference in our local community.
I created this blog to share hard-won insights on leadership, technology, and corporate culture with fellow business leaders and entrepreneurs.
A manual for success
In my blog, I share thoughts and experience on leadership, innovation, and technology from over three decades at the sharp end of business. I explore what makes businesses and teams stand out, how to foster the right culture, how to stay at the top of your game, and the story behind the story.
Whether you’re scaling a startup, leading transformation, or building something new, think of this as a manual for success from someone who’s still doing it every day.
I hope you enjoy reading.
