Dinesh is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of Proof Dept—A brand and marketing firm for SaaS companies at or around Series A. You have product-market proof — now you need brand proof. We start with a research-driven diagnostic, then build the positioning, brand, website, and marketing engine that turns funding momentum into pipeline.
Previously at Meta and Apple, Dinesh helped launch products and narratives seen by billions and created digital campaigns for Nike, Levi’s, Coca-Cola, and Oreo at AKQA and Wieden+Kennedy. Known for bridging big ideas with execution, he mentors designers, builds immersive experiences, and pushes brands into new creative territory.
When he’s not growing Proof Dept, he’s spinning UK garage hits, directing indie films, or tending to his cactus collection—all from his home base in Los Angeles.
