I would highly recommend Dan for any analytics projects. Dan's depth of knowledge in analytics is truly impressive. He consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of data analysis, tracking implementation, and optimization strategies. His ability to navigate complex data sets, identify patterns, and draw meaningful insights was invaluable to our team's success. It was a privilege to work with Dan at TUI, and I am sure he will continue to thrive in his entrepreneurial endeavors.

Dan and Duga came in to the business to provide expert professional services, their depth of insight and customer understanding is outstanding and really helped complete the skills and knowledge gap that we'd been lacking. His work has been significant to the business transformation and has propelled us further in decision making speed, investment validation and future-proofing our data foundations and new capabilities. Working with Dan has allowed me to consider the most important aspects for the business, confident that he will consider how these can be achieved and solved. Having Dan's experience and strategic broad understanding as well as his intricate solution oriented tactical strengths on hand has helped me to deploy organisational initiatives and upgrades. He is able to provide a bespoke service to his clients that delivers fast results to business challenges.

Dan & I have worked together in a variety of capacity over the last few years and he is my trusted source of all things data & analytics. By approaching problems from a marketing or business point of view, he is able to prepare organisations to extract the value from current data. Furthermore, he is able to help make sense of the complex landscape that marketeers now face with a variety of data issues, but increasing pressure to be more effective. I would have no hesitation to recommending Dan for any future work & projects.
