Bio
Amanda Xiaoqing Mao, PhD, CMPP
For the past 20 months, I’ve had the privilege to work with Daniel on a daily basis. His outstanding work is shown in three aspects: He leads by serving, be it a client or colleague. He walks the talk and quietly sets examples by doing hands-on work. Counterintuitively, this is exactly how he is highly regarded as a leader.
Adam Geib
I had the pleasure of being managed by Dan for almost 2 years at Edanz. In terms of my professional development, I couldn't have wished for a better mentor. In a challenging situation, Dan used his vast knowledge, insight, and ability to see things from a wide range of perspectives to quickly train me the intricacies of project management from my initial copy-editing position. Dan has expert knowledge of the publishing and pharmaceutical industries, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I learned something new from him every day we worked together. More widely, Dan expertly guides the medical communications team at Edanz, and has driven consistent and strong growth in the business unit while managing and developing fruitful relationships with a broad range of clients with extremely high expectations. Despite being being busy with his main roles in the business, Dan is incredibly approachable and always finds the time to help out in other areas when needed. Dan is a rare breed in management and I'm sure he will have continued success in the future.
