ABOUT DAN HOWARD
I build partnerships that sit at the intersection of performance and complianceAt Beyond Finance, I lead strategic relationships with publishers, media brands, and fintech affiliates, owning full lifecycle from sourcing through deal structuring to ongoing optimization. My focus increasingly sits at the fintech layer: working with lenders, marketplaces, and well known brands to turn declined or unmonetized traffic into qualified, high-intent consumers - and structuring the compliance guardrails that make those relationships scalable. Before this, I scaled insurance and fintech acquisition programs at volume, negotiated complex multi-party partnerships, and led operational initiatives across performance marketing and software environments. If you\'re working on funnel monetization, affiliate compliance infrastructure, or building out a partner channel in consumer finance - I\'m always open to a conversation.Outside of work, I love trail running and spending as much time outdoors as possible.
