Bio
Margaret Kim Lee
I had the privilege of reporting to Dan when transitioning into a product management role and was impressed time and time again with his servant leadership style. Dan struck a rare chord of being an attentive listener, a pragmatic problem solver, and fierce advocate for the team. I consistently left our conversations motivated and with clear next steps. No matter how crazy his calendar was, he had the ability to make you feel like you were the only person in the room. It wasn't just talk (or listening) though. Dan also took to task rolling up his sleeves and worked alongside teams to block and tackle the big and small. It is impressive how much he was able to achieve in such a short amount of time. I learned a lot from Dan and truly believe that any team would be lucky to benefit from his leadership and wealth of product management experience.

Dan worked for me as a part of my product management team at Visa. Dan hit the ground running and spearheaded a large cross-functional team across Visa to quickly develop and launch a new product to market. He also happens to have an amazing attention to detail. Dan's incredible dedication and passion toward making his product line a success would be a great asset to any org.
