“Dan and I worked together at Dave's Killer Bread during its most explosive stage of growth. Dan led and directly managed key strategic pivots for the brand including brand re-positioning, innovation, launching the Second Chance project, and building a devoted Breadhead fan base of over one million strong. Dan was crucial to the organization by opening up new geographies and new customers for the brand. Dan combines deep product knowledge---what unique bread attributes must perform each and every day to delight a Breadhead -- with skillful retail prowess and tops it off with award-winning digital marketing. He's an innovator at heart, and that comes from knowing everything about how the product is sourced, made, delivered and enjoyed. His new products launches have gone from strength to strength: Thin Sliced breads, White Bread Done Right (he nailed the name), and Dave's Killer Bread's Bagels. Dan and his team keep bringing the hits. Dan is able to pull off these consistent accomplishments because of his masterful ability to work across and through the organization at all levels. Dan is the definition of glue-guy, but he's more than that; Dan drives the vision of what needs to happen next and rallies people around him to get things done. The best part? Dan makes the effort a ton of fun. The humor and camaraderie Dan brings to his work make everyone want to be a part of what he's doing. In my 30 year career, I have worked with few individuals who possess the talent, work ethic and humor that Dan has. Consider yourself lucky if you get the chance to work with him. ”
