Dan’s unique understanding of the evolutionary financial, oversight and compliance challenges which arise as a platform scales will be on full display at Clarus Capital.
When he is not busy keeping things on track at work, Dan enjoys spending quality family time in the woodlands and mountains of New Hampshire and being on the “Big Lake.” Dan and his wife, Janet, reside on Boston’s South Shore and are proud parents of two grown daughters.
