Daniel’s Career Development Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
Daniel has helped clients get into these companies:
tl;dr on me: I'm an experienced consumer-facing product leader and founder who has scaled teams, launched products with millions of users and more millions of revenue impact, and raised money (within corporations and from top VCs). I've also felt imposter syndrome, doubted my career decisions, and been rejected from more job positions than I can count. Throughout both, I've always enjoyed sharing my learnings with students and mentees so they can avoid the mistakes I've made and find fulfillment as quickly and abundantly as possible. While I was a student at the University of Texas, I founded the campus’s first product-focused peer mentorship and recruiting organization. Through the organization and independently, I’ve coached dozens of students and young professionals on how to break into and succeed in product and consumer-facing roles — and like any great PM, I enjoy getting into the nitty gritty, from resume review to international launches and fighting for more eng staffing. I personally understand the challenges presented by coming from a public, non-Ivy university, as well as the anxiety that comes from being “non-technical”. After interning at VRBO, I joined Uber’s Associate Product Manager (APM) program — giving me exposure to leading tech teams in highly operational contexts (scooters and bikes), shipping design systems for core rider experience, and 3x-ing revenue and team size for a new business line (takeout) at Uber Eats.

Why do I coach?
It's corny but true: I wouldn't be here without the coaches who helped me along the way, and I deeply love passing on what I've learned to students and professionals alike. Coaching doesn't feel like work – it feels, unsurprisingly, like me and the mentee are on the same team, sharing in the victories and getting stronger after the setbacks.
