About
Meet Daan
Driven by a preference for clear thinking and practical solutions, I combine advisory work with rigorous research to help organisations navigate complex questions and improve how they operate.
My background spans business administration, political economy, and philosophy, with professional experience across consulting, financial services, government, and European politics. I have worked on operational improvement, quality assurance, sustainability, policy, and international developments, as well as the coordination of cross-border and volunteer-led teams.
Having worked in commercial, public, and mission-driven environments, I have developed a strong preference for simplicity. Good advice should clarify rather than complicate. That means avoiding unnecessary reports, frameworks, and structures, and focusing instead on what is genuinely useful, proportionate, and actionable.
