VP, Sustainability Research & Measurement

Dan graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, MA with a dual concentration in Finance and Entrepreneurship. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife Kelley and daughter Alice. Dan co-founded a financial instrument clearing house shortly after graduating from Babson. The business enjoyed rapid success, eventually expanding the footprint to include domestic and international operations. Dan’s focus in the firm was operations, sometimes jumping in to sell securities as a licensed broker. After nearly a decade, Dan sold the business and joined Liberty Mutual’s operations/lean management group within the former Center of Expertise. In his 8 years at Liberty, Dan has gone on to take many roles of increasing responsibility across T&ES and GRM, always with a focus on operational excellence/measurement. Dan is grateful and very excited for this latest opportunity to join the Sustainability Office, where his team is responsible for research and measurement.
