Dan’s career began as the youngest owner of medallion taxicabs and 24-hour fleet maintenance centers in Chicago and New York City. A private investor prompted Dan to sell his business and transition to Wall Street.
His initial sales success led him to Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb, ranking in the industry’s top 10% within six months. He subsequently joined a boutique M&A advisory firm developing his skills and knowledge in deal sourcing, leveraged buyouts, and corporate development. Dan completed acquisitions with a TTV exceeding $140 million.
Dan was later recruited by a family office to serve as director of corporate development focused on acquiring retail, consumer product, and industrial manufacturing businesses. Working directly with the CEO, Dan was responsible for deal sourcing, financial modeling, operating support, and performance improvement. Aggregate portfolio sales exceeded $750M.
Following 9/11, Dan established an independent practice, expanding into management consulting, commercial & residential construction, and industrial services. Today, Dan continues to work with business owners to strengthen and position their companies for long-term success in an increasingly competitive world.
