Built by operators. For operators.

D&N Solutions London was founded on a simple principle: the best consultants have run businesses themselves. Our team combines advisory expertise with first-hand experience of building, scaling and turning around real companies.

Dimitar Petkanov
Director

Serial founder and operator across e-commerce, hospitality, staffing and business support. Leads engagements across the full breadth of the D&N Solutions practice.

Director's Message

"Every framework we use has been stress-tested against a real payroll."

Dimitar Petkanov founded D&N Solutions London to bring the practical, operator-level thinking he learned building companies to consulting engagements with UK businesses.

Over more than a decade as a founder and operator, Dimitar has built and scaled ventures across e-commerce, hospitality, staffing services and business support — designing operational systems, selecting and implementing technology stacks, structuring HR functions, driving growth strategies and leading change through complex project rollouts.

That first-hand experience — actually running the operations he now advises on — is what shapes D&N Solutions' approach. Every framework is stress-tested against real-world constraints: budget, headcount, timeline and the messy reality of implementation.

His advisory work spans the full breadth of the firm's practice: business strategy and management consultancy, IT and digital transformation, HR and organisational design, operations and process improvement, business development and growth, project and change management, and startup and SME advisory. He holds an MSc in Project Management from Arden University and combines academic rigour with the pragmatism of someone who has signed the payroll, chased the invoices and made the systems work.

The Team

The people behind the practice.

A tight-knit team of experienced advisors and consultants — chosen for their depth of practical experience and their ability to deliver, not just recommend.
