What Our Clients Say

“Dan has been an integral and amazing partner in hiring senior-level positions across the TikTok business. His deep understanding of our business as well as our team has helped in placing the right candidates in the right roles. We highly value our ongoing partnership Dan.”

Laura Chuck
Head of People and Culture – TikTok 

“Finding the right talent is one of the most important elements of any successful organisation, and Dan has consistently come through. I regularly turn to him for senior-level roles when building high-calibre teams. He’s well-connected, transparent, and an excellent communicator, and simply understands the brief and gets it done.”

Anthony Capano
Regional Director – Intuit

“Dan understands what it takes to hire top talent at senior and C-level, particularly in how he represents companies when they’re not in the room. Straightforward to deal with, with a strong network and an insightful read on people, he has good judgement around who will actually fit, not just on capability, but on how they’ll operate culturally.”

Chris Ellis
CEO – Collabra AI

“Dan is a true business partner. He quickly understands the brief, brings sharp market insight, and maintains a flexible and agile approach throughout the process. He adapts seamlessly as needs evolve, pivots when required, and consistently feels like an extension of the team. Importantly, he brings a strong human element to his work—genuinely focused on finding the right outcome for both the candidate and the business, without ever feeling pushy or transactional.”

Nicolle Stuart
Head of People & Culture – MAMAMIA
