Hey, I’m Dan

An ex-cofounder with a diverse background across four countries, three languages, and as part of communities like the queer community. This shapes my commitment to honest communication, respect, and high performance. I’m known for a hands-on approach, strong project management and execution, and expertise in process and communication design. Most recently, I exited a company after reaching €2.5M in annual revenue, a 14-person team, and 1,100+ clients.

Now, I’m looking to join a fast-moving, diverse, and purpose-driven team that prioritizes real impact, open communication, and ownership—to create solutions that deliver real value and shape the future.
