Currently serving as Chief Strategy Officer, Dean Ulizio initially joined BrightStar Care in 2006 as one of the first few franchise owners. After opening and operating offices in Denver and Boulder, Colorado, Dean found many opportunities to collaborate on the evolution of the BrightStar Care model — including being the founder and chairperson of the Information Technology Committee and being elected as a charter member of the Franchise Advisory Council. BrightStar Care named Dean the 2007 Brand Advocate of the Year.
In 2010, Dean accepted a position with BrightStar Franchising as Senior Vice President of Technology. Dean brought deep experience in software development, process design, product development, and technology infrastructure from his previous roles at start-ups and Fortune 500 companies — including Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) and Level 3 Communications. He led the successful development of the second generation of BrightStar’s proprietary technology platform, ABS, a new Business Intelligence platform, and the implementation of several third-party technology solutions.
Today, Dean focuses on strategic planning, product development and innovation, national account partnerships, and the development of new brands such as BrightStar Care Homes. Building upon his experience taking care of families and leveraging his insights as a former franchisee, he is passionate about working with the BrightStar network to establish BrightStar Care as America’s most trusted brand — one that delivers the highest standard of care.
Dean knows from personal experience the impact BrightStar’s nurse-led personal care services can have on a client’s well-being, and he continues to focus on ways that personal care can play a bigger role in the larger healthcare ecosystem as part of a more holistic care plan journey for each patient.
