Bio

Daniel consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of Paack business needs and was able to translate them into effective initiatives. He was overseeing HR operations in UK and his role was instrumental to implement corporate HR strategies in that country, this included adapting them to local needs and legal framework when needed. From Daniel, I would certainly highlight his approachability and professionalism. Also, his ability to build strong relationships with both employees and management. I have no doubt that he would be an asset to any organization.
