Daniel has provided AI governance, information security, technical consulting, and program leadership to major organizations across financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, retail, energy, transportation, consumer products, media, and government.

AI Governance Advisory

Founded AssessAI Associates to help enterprise executives build governance, risk, and security frameworks — aligned to ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST AI RMF — that make AI adoption safe and auditable before it becomes a liability.

Startup / Business Development

Built a consulting practice from the ground up — business plan, financial model, marketing and sales strategy, and delivery — that grew into a 15-year advisory engagement with Fortune 500 clients.

Process Improvement

Redesigned compliance assessments to identify control gaps and PCI exposure, then delivered remediation plans within six months — including one of the country's earliest HIPAA assessments.

Acquisition Integration

Integrated newly acquired business locations across Europe and Japan, developing stakeholder templates that aligned business and technology expectations through the transition.

Cost Management

Developed sourcing strategy for utility, media, and consumer goods companies, reducing annual costs by up to 18% while improving cash flow and refocusing internal IT on differentiating work.

Program Management

Implemented a PMO for a major pharmaceutical company, using Agile dashboards and Scrum communication methods to improve stakeholder visibility into progress, issues, and plans.

Solution Architecture

Implemented a self-provisioned private cloud for a major credit reporting company, deploying PaaS services that saved clients at least 15% per year in operating costs.

Vendor Management

Delivered a global project on time using six external service providers, coordinated by a five-person internal team — proof that disciplined vendor governance scales across borders.

Most effective in complex environments where coordinating people, processes, technology, and resources is critical to success.

Brings broad experience across industries, with strengths in AI strategy and governance, cloud computing, enterprise risk, and program management.

Combines executive leadership with the ability to translate emerging technologies into secure, well-governed programs that improve operations, manage risk, and produce lasting business value.
