Daniel is a senior leader with over two decades of experience in the technology and games sector, specialising in transformational change and business turnarounds. He’s held leadership roles in early-stage startups and established mid-sized businesses — including private, VC, and PE-backed companies.

At Jagex, Daniel was one of the first hires and helped scale the company from 10 to over 400 people. He built the RuneScape game and core tech teams, along with key functions like player support, community, localisation, people, finance, and legal. He led RuneScape through multiple phases, from product-market fit to maturity — helping establish it as a $1B+, 20+ year franchise.

At DIGIT, he joined in the role of COO during a period of rapid growth and turbulence, becoming a key partner to the CEO and taking ownership of day-to-day operations so the CEO could focus on product and vision. He reshaped the leadership team, upgraded talent, and improved operations — contributing to a $1B+ franchise later acquired by Scopely.

At Bossa, Daniel joined at a pivotal moment and as co-CEO worked with the founder to reset strategy and rebuild the leadership team. He raised the talent bar and introduced new creative and production leadership, leading to faster, higher-quality development and the successful release of Lost Skies. These changes improved engagement and helped shape a healthier, higher-performing studio culture.
