Background
Since 2004, Dan has balanced a career in private sector research with an ongoing academic focus on international affairs and economic development. Most recently, Dan served as the Program Director of nGenera Insight’s Government 2.0 research program, a multi-client research program sponsored by governments from across North America and Europe. He currently holds a Senior Associate role at the Ottawa-based Institute on Governance, and has previously worked for the United Nations and TakingITGlobal in West Africa.
Dan holds an M.Sc. in Development Studies (with distinction) from the London School of Economics where he focused his research on North-South trade and economic development, and a B.B.A. from Wilfrid Laurier University. In addition to these professional and academic endeavours, Dan has travelled through over 50 countries across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Why he chose the Balsillie School: "The interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of global affairs allows for a broad and pragmatic research methodology that is necessary given the interdisciplinary nature of today’s global challenges."
