Commenting on his new position, Denton said: “I am really excited to be returning to the UAE and getting reacquainted with the products and teams I know so well. Although many things remain very familiar, much has changed in the time that I was away from the Middle East. There are many new faces and new initiatives and dmg events has grown exponentially across the region.
