DESIGN LEADER. AI BUILDER. ORG FIXER.

Dan approached healthcare UX with the rare understanding that behind every workflow, click, and digital touchpoint was a person trying to solve something important — often on a difficult day. He brought sharp thinking, quick wit, and an unusually human approach to digital strategy that elevated both the work itself and the people creating it.

Dan is an absolute force of nature — the very best kind of people leader. The moment you need his support, BOOM — he's right there for you like Dumbledore, calmly restoring order in moments of chaos. The time I had reporting directly to Dan was the highlight of my design career so far, and I can't wait to work with him again.

Dan truly lives and breathes design thinking — not just as a process, but as a way to keep the team focused on what truly matters. It was clear he possessed the skills to become a future CPO — combining user empathy and leadership to drive meaningful outcomes. He approached every challenge with passion and wit and was an absolute joy to work with.

Dan’s leadership is the best blend of fiercely passionate yet specific and personal to each employee he takes under his wing. His advocacy for user experience translates to all facets of business strategy, design standards and a core belief in having fun while doing so. Dan cares deeply for his teams and inspires incredible loyalty amongst leadership, employees and peers alike. We need more humans like Dan in the corporate world!

Dan has an incredible ability to bridge the gap between creative, tech, and product teams. He knows how to bring people together, navigate differing priorities, and drive success across teams. His combination of vision, problem-solving skills, and collaborative approach makes him an asset to any project or organization.
