As a speaker, I translate complex technology and strategy into frameworks that teams can actually use. For groups, companies, and conferences, I present on AI integration, digital strategy, and the future of marketing.
Contact DanielCurrent Director of Creative & Digital Services, Lead Strategist MESH | meshmediagroup.com Leading integrated strategy at the intersection of creative, digital, and AI innovation. I drive growth for clients through brand strategy, digital transformation, and emerging technology integration—combining 19+ years of agency expertise with hands-on AI implementation and data-driven decision making.

BOOK FOR SPEAKING"To seek the highest good is to live well." Saint Augustine
I am made better by my amazing wife and 5 children. They keep me laughing and provide endless opportunities for dad jokes—and for learning what truly matters. Family has taught me that the best leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about listening deeply, creating space for others to grow, and recognizing that everyone's carrying something you can't see. This shapes how I lead teams: with curiosity instead of ego, with patience instead of pressure, and with the belief that people do their best work when they feel valued as whole humans, not just resources. I believe harmony between our professional and personal lives isn't just nice, it's essential for sustainable excellence.
"Let them have coffee before meditation." - Fulton Sheen
Brewing coffee in the morning can offer a serene moment of mindfulness, as the rhythmic process of grinding beans, the soothing sound of brewing, and the rich aroma create a tranquil environment.
Coffee is also a wonderful catalyst for shared moments, bringing people together over a comforting cup, fostering connection and conversation in the warmth of its embrace.

All Things Apple
Some people may have an Apple sticker on their car or others stick figures for their family, but I have 7 Apple stickers to let everyone know that we truly are an Apple household.
Smart Home Automation
While getting a few smart bulbls and an Alexa can start you on the journey, I have fallen completely down the rabbit hole and enjoy automating as many mundane tasks around our house as possible. And in true Dad fashion I can turn all the lights of in the house automatically when I leave. 😎
Movies & TV
I enjoy storytelling and that usually means a good movie or tv show that I can sink my brain into and enjoy the human experience.
I tend to be pretty genre agnostic but I tend to lean towards SciFi, Action, and Documentaries.
Magazines & Books
Spending hours on a computer every day really makes me craze the printed page when possible. I enjoy reading magazines liked WIRED, Inc, and Fast Company. I also tend to get lost in a good SciFi book that usually has some angle about humanity and their fight against hopelessness in a post-apocalyptic world.
With a commute of an hour or so a couple times a week I have become an avid podcast listener. Some of my favorite are here (left to right). Malcom Galdwell with Revisionist History, Simone Sinek and A Bit of Optimism, Todd Henry and The Accidental Creative, and Nilay Patel with Decoder. I also fill in the gaps with WIRED's Gadget Lab, TED Radio Hour, Work Life by Adam Grant, and DarkNet Diaries.
I work with organizations at three levels:
Brand strategy, digital transformation, go-to-market planning, and market expansion for companies ready to scale.
Custom AI systems, marketing automation, and emerging technology integration that solve real business problems.
Keynotes, workshops, and training on AI integration, digital strategy, and empathy-driven leadership.
Whether you need a strategic partner, a hands-on implementer, or a speaker who can translate complexity into action, let's talk.
