About Daniel D.

I’m a Product Management and Marketing Executive, and Engineer who has vast experience in leading teams to deliver successful product portfolios in challenging business environments. In my collaboration with engineering and creative teams, I’ve ideated and launched products and designs that address real problems and that also influence other partners to follow my lead. In 2015 I won the Intel achievement award, Intel’s highest honor, for my work on the Llama Mountain 2:1 Ultrabook reference design. This design pushed the boundaries of how thin a high performance laptop could be. Working closely with engineering, I took minimal resources and funding to create a solution that inspired the world to create some incredible detachable 2 in 1 laptops. I\'m passionate, creative, and terribly optimistic about making the impossible a reality. I love to think about what the future can be and then create stepping stones to get the world there. My professional values are- Success doesn’t come without a plan- I always have a plan. I am an expert at product life cycles (the plan)… both with Intel and other OEM models- I make sure every meeting or discussion has a clear purpose, stays on topic and ends with an action plan- I demolish uncertainty with my ability to clearly explain very complex ideas - Everyone knows teamwork is critical, but few know how to work well with teams- I can work with anyone … (yes, I’m that easy to work with)- People want to work with me because I care about them and I care about winning. even if that means I need to expat them from Pakistan to Malaysia or China to the USA (ask me about it) It’s always great to make new connections. If you are an old acquaintance, new to the industry, or a seasoned professional, please reach out. If I can’t help, I probably know someone who can.
