Hi, I’m Daniel 👋
I live in Denmark near Copenhagen with my wife and daughter.
I have always been interested in the combination of business and the endless possibilities within the digital space, so I love the role of a product owner. I’ve coded software since I was 13, but I’ve always known that I did not enjoy the coded part nearly as much as the impact part. For me, the software is a tool to achieve a goal, not the goal itself. During my studies I fell in love with machine learning. Being able to combine mathematics, software and business into one field was a perfect fit for me.
Previous Roles
Independent AI & Data Consultant
Today, in my role as an independent consultant, I have the privilege of assisting various organizations in their growth journey. Whether it’s guiding companies from their inception to their first milestone or propelling them from one level of success to the next, I am dedicated to supporting their progress. Throughout my career, I have always found immense satisfaction in sharing my knowledge and empowering those around me. It is this passion that has driven me to create this course, where I aim to equip individuals with the skills to leverage the potential of Data & AI, enabling them to propel their organizations and advance their own careers to new heights.
Data & AI Product Owner @ AutoProff
Thanks to my professional network, I was fortunate enough to get the role of Data Product Owner at AUTOproff, one of Europe’s largest pre-owned vehicle auction platforms. Joining the company as one of the initial 30 employees, my primary goal was to enable scalable growth for the business. In this capacity, I took charge of all reporting aspects, including Business Intelligence (BI), creating insightful dashboards, establishing data definitions, and more. Additionally, I served as the product owner for our talented AI team, leveraging artificial intelligence to automate labor-intensive tasks and enhance decision-making throughout the organization. By the time I departed in 2023, the company had grown by a factor of five, with a majority share of it being acquired by a key player in the used car industry.

Analytics Consultant @ Accenture
I began my post-graduate career as a consultant at the global consulting firm, Accenture, where I worked with clients from around the world to maximize the utilization of their data, often stored in the ERP system SAP. The consultant role has always appealed to me, as it allows me to tackle complex challenges within tight timelines. The dynamic nature of the job, billing six-figure USD invoices and embracing a “work hard, play hard” mentality, was something I found exciting. Additionally, it involved significant travel; I remember having over 180 travel days in a single year. However, after a few years, I wanted to seek a new challenge, one that was with less travel and more ownership of a product or solution.
