The floor. The strategy.
The bigger picture.

Let’s talk

Not just an advisor.
An operator.

Daniel’s perspective wasn’t built in a boardroom.
It started on a showroom floor.

From a Chrysler Jeep dealership in Lexington, South Carolina, to selling vehicles around the world through eBay, Daniel learned that digital trust has to be earned.

At Stokes Automotive Group, he progressed from Internet Director to Variable Operations Platform Director, helping lead facility expansions, new rooftops, and the teams behind them.
