Bio
Thomas Irawan
I worked with Daniel for over 9 years at Wiley. He has been an insightful, trusted strategic business partner for the leadership team in APAC and globally. He brought with him his passion for business development, his innovative insight to break through business hurdles we faced with, and his structured methodology to approach strategic business development into fruition. I have enjoyed his collaborative, supportive and growth oriented leadership quality.
Karen Wootton
I worked with Daniel more closely from 2020 to 2022 when we were part of an International team within Wiley charged with business development, innovation and sales across EMEA and APAC. Daniel is a great strategic thinker and innovator who has a great ability to cut through business speak and articulate ideas clearly and with purpose. He was very helpful in leading projects with a consultancy partner to help us clearly define opportunities within growing economies. Separately Daniel was very generous with his time acting as a mentor for one of my senior managers, sharing his experience of being an international colleague in a global business. I enjoyed working with Daniel enormously and learnt a lot from him in this time.
