~/ The Tech Coach

What clients say

I've worked with ICs, leaders & founders navigating transitions, burnout, and the search for clarity. Here's what they have to say.

Jérémy Bernard
“Earlier this year, I worked with Dan over a 5-month coaching journey, and I wanted to share how impactful it was. What started as professional coaching quickly went further. Dan helped me recover energy, clarity, and confidence, and that allowed me to go full on into a new professional adventure with much more intention and calm. Beyond work topics, we explored deeper patterns, blind spots, and personal levers that I hadn’t fully seen before. We made progress on areas outside of work — but with a very real and positive impact at work: decision-making, leadership posture, boundaries, and focus. If you’re a tech professional feeling stuck, stretched, or simply wanting to operate at a higher level (without burning out), I can honestly say this kind of coaching is a powerful investment. Thanks again, Dan, for the space, the questions, and the perspective.”

Victoria Bond
“After almost a decade as a founder, I turned to Dan when my energy began to flag and I needed a reset to push the business into its next phase of growth. Dan’s coaching helped reignite the early startup passion by working through priorities – both personal and professional – until I felt confident and excited about the months ahead. Dan is an excellent communicator and helped me formulate (and role-play) more challenging conversations with senior members of the team. I still check in with him from time to time, as his “one-step-removed” perspective is always valuable.”

“I choose to work with you because you were specifically interested in focusing on people in tech and I felt like you could relate to my situation. Knowing that someone is listening to my situation brings its own sense of calm. Dan is like that extra brain, helping you make sense of your situation and notice what you might otherwise miss. I now feel like I have some confidence in what I need to do when before it felt like I was to overwhelmed. I appreciate your professionalism, humility and kindness. I do feel calmer and a stronger sense of what I should be doing now.”

“During a challenging period of job loss and uncertainty, I had the opportunity to work with Dan, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. His guidance went beyond standard career advice - he provided clarity and helped me regain confidence.  What stood out most was his ability to listen and support me through some personal challenges that were affecting my mindset and motivation. I genuinely felt seen and encouraged. Highly recommend to anyone navigating a career crossroads.”

“You invited me to be still and think and listen to my intuition. You allowed me to think for myself… I started to believe my intuitions”

“Just to say thanks Dan, for your wisdom and input while I was struggling with some anxiety over this winter – really helpful and grateful for your guidance and hard-learned knowledge.”

“Dan was an incredibly supportive and empathetic coach during my life and career transition. He guided me in reframing my thinking, helping me identify fallacies and reshape my mental models to align more closely with who I am today rather than who I was. I highly recommend working with Dan to anyone navigating change or seeking clarity.”
