He also partners with SAM’s executive leadership to drive organic growth and plays a key role in preparing strategic materials for the Board of Directors.
Prior to SAM, Dan spent nine years as a Strategy Consultant at EY in the Washington, DC, New York, and Austin offices, leading project teams for clients nationwide.
