Many recommendations Dan has received pertain to his extensive knowledge, sharp mind, and incredible work ethic. Though I still recognize those aspects, I am here to recommend him from a different perspective. Dan and I worked closely together, most directly on a quarter-long project which resulted in projections, estimates, and detailed analyses. Being both new to the analyst industry at the time and to this type of work, it’s safe to say I had an almost infinite number of questions for him. He took each in stride and maintained clear goals with precise direction. He translated (what were, to me) complex technical concepts into concise feedback and helpful criticism. I learned a lot from the experience; and I am grateful I learned it from Dan. His guidance is not only a reflection on his ability to teach, but also his own character and discipline. Dan was (and is) a mentor to me. He is honest, kind, an intellect, and has a great sense of humor. He is patient but direct, and a wonderful mentor. He is an advocate for the underdogs, supportive, encouraging, and is easy to talk with. I am grateful I've had the chance to work with him and hope to continue doing so for many years to come.

I had the pleasure of working with Dan for five years and have seen how his pragmatic, discerning, and future thinking approach to the challenges and opportunities in the IT and cybersecurity space has fueled meaningful change in organizations around the world. Dan possesses a unique balance of deep subject matter expertise, technical knowledge, intuition, critical thinking, and communication skills that are often lacking in IT and cybersecurity leadership. Dan talents and wisdom would be an asset to any company seeking insights, experience, and leadership.
