Dean Hatton brings a rare operator-heavy background to venture investing, having served as CEO of Higher One, EVP/COO of Carlson Wagonlit Travel, and SVP at Travelers before co-founding the angel investment firm Top Floor and later joining Las Olas Venture Capital. He stays closely involved with the companies he backs, sitting on boards for OneRail, Medxoom, Preteckt, ReloQuest, otto, CarePredict, and Configure8, and tends to focus on fixing outdated operational workflows in overlooked areas like final-mile logistics, workflow coordination, and trade compliance.
