Hi, I'm Daniel. I joined Airbnb as an early team member and worked directly with the founders to recruit executive talent across product, engineering, and design as we scaled from 30 to 3,000 employees. That's where I learned how to close senior hires in hyper-competitive markets. Now I'm based in Amsterdam, angel investing in European AI startups and helping founders build the leadership teams that will define Europe's next tech decade.
