His dedicated implementation of the Commission's communication activities in relation to the World Humanitarian Summit demonstrates that he is also a hands-on guy, who makes concrete things happen.

His insight on linguistic and cultural sensitivities, SEO, journalistic standards and style, online user experience, and web operations - was highly useful and greatly appreciated!"
"Efficiency, professionalism and creativity is I what kept from my collaboration with Dan. We had the chance to collaborate on an action at the European Commission for VP Maroš Šefčovič to exchange with the "Youth for Climate" group, in a great innovative way inside our vehicle while driving autonomously. This was broadcasted live on-line on Facebook EU and followed by more than 1M follower. It was done in a so short time that only high efficient coordinators can handle, with all the tech, papers, coordination and operational work that you can imagine. Dan orchestrated this with a smile. Happy to collaborate to new challenges with Dan."
