About Dan Boerner

Champion and leader of large-scale product initiatives and platform migrations with a 25+ year history of rapid delivery of tech, business and customer value. Attracted to industries and problem areas where leveraging technology yields outsized customer and business impact. I\'ve held leadership positions in the communication, fin-tech, and travel industries and thrive on delivering \"impossible\" high-risk/high-reward product/tech transformations. I\'m convinced a key differentiator for the next decade will be how well companies manage constant platform evolution. I believe the best products and business outcomes come from small, empowered, cross-discipline teams. I use storytelling to create alignment and iterative outcome delivery for sustained investment support. I am an integrator who strives to generalize, not specialize, and am convinced the magic happens when you bring a product and customer outcome lens to building tech platforms.
