Hi, I’m Daniel.

I’m paving the way for people with great ideas for improving the world.

About me.

I’m the COO at the Center for Emerging Risk Research and a personal and executive coach, currently based in Switzerland. See my LinkedIn for my professional background.

I’m curious about almost everything and love to learn new things. I’m particularly interested in how to have peak energy and focus, get the most out of my time, and struggle more gracefully. I spend my downtime meditating, hiking, and enjoying dark chocolate.

Coaching.

I help people in the effective altruism community face difficult challenges and make their biggest contribution to the world while taking care of themselves.

Occasionally I write about issues that I address with my clients and other topics that pique my interest.
