Founder

Hi - I’m Dan,

There are two ways I can help you unlock potential in your manufacturing, engineering or industrial business.

I have a zero-fluff approach, so let’s go:

(01) Fast Value:
An 8-week targeted value creation sprint to identify and execute high-impact opportunities in your core business.

(02) The Simple Strategy:
A strategy development and execution programme that takes you end-to-end.

We’ll avoid the pitfalls of (non)strategic planning by building a growth strategy around:

1. Optimising the core business
2. Growing through logical extensions and adjacent markets
3. Exploring & innovating future products, services and business models

I focus on bridging the gap between strategy and execution, guiding you through the critical decisions required to align the day-to-day activities with the long-term strategic direction.

Send me a DM to discuss if you want to drive growth and innovation in your business.

Building ⭐ performance teams that deliver true digital transformation

🎯 You need results — not just reports.

Over the last 20+ years, I’ve led global digital programs, driven large-scale transformations, and built high-performance teams across pharma, tech, and consulting.

Here’s what that’s looked like in practice:

📈 Delivered >$100M in ROI across digital workplace, supply chain, and IT service portfolios

🌍 Led programs across 5 continents, serving users in 100+ countries

🛠 Orchestrated complex SAP/ERP rollouts, agile transformations, and M&A integrations

🤝 Built and scaled diverse, cross-functional teams that consistently outperformed benchmarks

🧩 Blended business insight with technology delivery to bridge strategy and execution, with empathy and clarity

But numbers only tell half the story.

As a certified coach, I’ve also helped leaders and professionals navigate uncertainty, find clarity, and unlock new levels of personal and professional growth. My coaching is grounded, practical, and forward-moving - no fluff, just real momentum.

📘 My book "A Life in Motion",  available at https://mybook.to/AV5w, brings together the exact frameworks I’ve used  - and lived - through two decades of change, connecting my leadership and coaching practices.

👉 Do we speak to show who we are, or who we hope others will accept? 🍃

That’s the question Josefine Wanner, Leon Roos, Sylvia Keijzer, and I will explore next week in a new episode of the A Life In Motion podcast. 🎙️

We’ll dive into the psychology of visibility, the craft of communication, and the hidden layers of identity that shape how we speak... and we’ll debate this tension live with you. 🔥

As part of the audience, you’ll get to:
💬 Ask your own questions
💡 Contribute to the discussion
✨ Take away practical tools for your daily life

⚡ The session will stream live on LinkedIn, but there’s no guarantee it stays up afterward. Join us live so you don’t miss it! 🍃

🍃 A Life in Motion | Growth. Transformation. Results.
