Daniel G. KramerFounder

United States - New York, New York

I am a global leader, investor and board advisor with over 20 years of executive experience in driving strategy and execution for some of the world’s largest financial services organizations, as well as a number of early and late stage fintechs.

I have led teams of up to 14,000, controlling budgets of up to $1.6B, and as Vice-Chair of Calastone, I participated in the acquisition of the majority of the firm by the Carlyle Group.

I am deeply committed to inclusion, having created and implemented a Male Ally Program, which now has 5,000+ members. In 2018, my efforts resulted in me being named as a Champion of Women in Business by The Financial Times.

Over the course of my career, I have succeeded at:

- Turning high level vision and strategy into reality by bringing clarity and simplicity to complex challenges, while uniting teams with a strong sense of purpose of how their every action is tied to the organizational and client ‘Why?’.

- Attracting great talent to build and scale high performing global teams by balancing my commercial focus with an empathy that connects with all levels and personality types.

- Listening to client needs and then applying my deep industry expertise and perspective to build profitable and scalable products.

- Being a serial connector through my broad, global C-Suite and board level network across the finance industry due to my reputation over the past 20+ years as a solutions orientated leader.

I enjoy working with investors, boards and the founders of companies who are disrupting their industries and supporting them on their hyper-growth journeys.

The areas that bring me the most energy and that I have a strong track record in delivering on include:

1) Developing, building and executing go to market strategies for new and existing products.

2) Growing and scaling businesses to delight clients.

3) Acting as a bridge between traditional financial services organizations and the fintech world.

4) Developing and mentoring talent to realize their true calling and potential.

5) Identifying and evaluating investment opportunities.

Outside of my professional life, I love yoga, the beach and the Grateful Dead.
