Hi, I'm Robin Daniels, The James Bond of B2B, at least according to one legenday VC 😆

I'm an experienced executive focused on growth, marketing, GTM, product innovation, and leadership development to deliver epic results through ground-breaking, fun, and highly differentiated activities, while empowering people and teams to do the best work of their lives. 

I'm Chief Business Officer for Zensai (zensai.com) - where I run Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and GTM.

Throughout my career I've held executive leadership roles in high growth companies of all sizes, including Matterport (IPO) WeWork (near IPO), Salesforce, LinkedIn, Box (IPO), Veritas, and Vera (acquired).

My areas of expertise include growth strategy, product innovation, marketing, product marketing communications and media, GTM strategies, org design, leadership development, innovation management, mergers & acquisitions, top-level leadership, category-creation, brand building, public speaking, and sales transformation.

Here's more about my life story and journey during the last two decades: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/roadmap-life-love-happiness-robin-daniels/

I spent over 20 years in the US and UK, but I'm from Copenhagen, Denmark and an avid runner and movie nerd.

Studied and trusted by EMEA’s learning leaders, the 2026 9-Grid™ for Learning Systems is out today. 

The research shows that the market is growing but uncertainty and complexity remain; nevertheless, vendors are continuing to focus on AI-enabled functionality.

Revealing the market and solution trends in the learning systems market, the 2026 9-Grid™ report shows that:

- While AI is the top priority for the coming year – alongside skills, according to Digital Learning Realities 2025 – staples such as compliance and regulatory training are still critically important but have ceded the spotlight to AI due to the market-wide effectiveness of their delivery in modern learning. 
- The proliferation of AI sees face-to-face, cohort-based learning achieve premium status, with the research noting that “…leadership judgement, surgical precision, craftsmanship, [and] complex negotiation” remain capabilities that need observation and social interaction.

Fiona Leteney, Senior Analyst at Fosway Group, commented on the report’s learning experience insight: "It’s official: The LXP as a standalone category of learning system is finally behind us. Organisations still care deeply about the learning experience, but what used to be differentiators like personalised recommendations, intuitive UX, seamless content access, are now baseline expectations. AI is accelerating this shift, and even potentially transforming the traditional ‘Netflix style’ front door of learning into adaptive, conversational experiences where AI coaches and tutors guide learners in real time."

Myself and Fiona Leteney will take questions on the research in a live online ‘Ask the Analyst’ session on 19 March 2026 at 3pm GMT. Register for your free place here.

There are other market analysis models, but there’s only one 9-Grid™. Examine it today to accelerate your buying knowledge.

Thanks for the great conversation about purpose, sleep, exercise, and happiness. I loved it Eric Bomyea - keep doing awesome work.

You don’t need a perfect sleep routine. You need portable anchors.

You already know the sleep science: 

Same bedtime. 
Same wake time. 
Dark room. 
No screens. 
Total consistency.

But your life moves.

Travel. 
Clients. 
Team dinners.
New beds. 
Different time zones.

So when the routine breaks, you feel behind.

In my conversation with Robin Daniels, he shared two anchors he protects wherever he is:

Sleep as a priority — even when it’s imperfect.
Daily physical regulation — move the stress out.

Two commitments that can travel with you. That reframed how I think about living dynamically, not perfectly. 

If your day goes sideways tomorrow, what would you still protect?

Consultant, Advisor, Coach • Growth Strategy, Product & Marketing, Strategic Partnerships

I am a senior leader with over 15 years of experience scaling revenue-generating products and streamlining efficiencies on creative, business and technical teams. I’m passionate about technology led disruption and the democratization of tooling. 

Effectiveness stems from depth of expertise, agility in evolving business and economic climate, and talent for building trusted relationships with colleagues, clients, and business partners. I take an object-oriented approach that is considerate, data-driven, and iterative yet biased for action. 

My strengths are navigating ambiguity, pivoting when project requirements evolve, deep multi-disciplinary collaboration, strong stakeholder management, and driving measurable results.

Most people still talk about “#ItalianStartups” with a kind of resigned shrug: amazing talent, impossible bureaucracy, permanent brain drain – in short, it is a hostile landscape. 

That’s why what Dorian Lazzari and the Cubish team are doing has been stuck in my head since he came on my radar…

Italy is the country that gave us the #Brunelleschi dome, #daVinci machines, and the #Michelangelo touch – radically ambitious engineering and art stacked on top of fragile, very human institutions. Iconic cultural engineering. 

Today, it’s also a place where launching a serious tech company means wrestling with red tape, fragmented incentives, and a culture that still quietly encourages the best people to leave. A good metaphor is the anti-Swiss rail. 

Against that backdrop, #Cubish is a wild outlier:

✔️ They’ve spent four years building a 5.1‑trillion‑cube spatial web, turning the Earth’s surface into addressable “Cube Domains” for geolocated content, services, and interactions.
✔️ They filed what’s been described as one of the most complex software patents ever submitted in Italy for a location‑based CMS that can layer immersive, merit‑ranked digital spaces on top of the physical world.
✔️ They did it with 26 co‑founders (including two companies), all remote, work‑for‑equity, selected via hundreds of interviews, with explicit governance around transparency, representation, and merit instead of vibes.

In a country where “it’s impossible to run a startup” is almost conventional wisdom, that’s not just a product story. It’s a coordination hack and a cultural hack.

It reminds me more of #Renaissance #Florence or imperial #Rome than of a typical 2020s seed‑deck narrative: discretizing the planet the way Roman engineers discretized roads and aqueducts – except the stones are digital cubes and the arches are protocols; hand‑rolling a mini‑constitution so 26 founders can hold the sky up together, instead of tearing the cap table apart, or fighting over airspace… But, I digress. 

Whatever happens next for Cubish, it’s already proof of something important:

You can bend Italian startup physics without breaking the team – if you’re willing to carry Atlas‑level load for a while to give everyone else a new layer to stand on.

I’m curious who else is quietly doing this kind of “Renaissance in hostile conditions” work – in Italy or elsewhere. 

Please post other world class #builders, #founders, or world #shapers that should be on my radar... I'll go first!
