Background
About Dane
• I have founded new businesses in a space with overwhelmingly dominant incumbent players and beat them at their game for a fraction of the cost and became the model at key industry association conferences that yes, it could be done.
• I evolved a consumer hardware business to software and content when the old model did not work though unique relationships and determination to develop partnerships locally and globally.
• I challenged a centuries old process in physical sciences to think different about how they have managed crucial resources, and changed the way they have thought about it forever while forging significant relationships in the USA and China.
