Bio
Gareth Kentish
I got to know Daniel through the work we did together at Hansen. Certainly it was clear at the outset that my colleague was sharp, quick-witted and with a real drive for success. We have become good friends too, mainly due to Daniel's energy for life, good humour and above all honesty. I wish Daniel well in his future endeavours.
Dr. Svenja Damberg
I worked together with Daniel in order to discover new market opportunities for EPG Systems ApS in the DACH market. Daniel was a Market Manager at that time and was great at distributing tasks and responsibilities. It was a pleasure to work together with such a friendly and ambitious person. Daniel has a very professional mindset and a can-do attitude. Daniel was someone I could learn from and I look up to, as he was able to manage his full-time job plus his master studies and family life. I would gladly work together with Daniel again in the future.
