As somebody that has always placed huge emphasis on market expertise, he has established a deep network and understanding of the wider Renewable Energy space – something that is expected of every individual working at The Sustainable Partnership.

Having been schooled in France, Dan “apparently” speaks both French & Spanish, something we’d welcome you put to the test! When he’s not in the office (saving the planet one hire at a time), you’ll probably find Dan hacking his way around a golf course near you.
