Before joining PRIDE Industries, Dan was the first Global Leader for Amazon’s Alternative/All Abilities Workforce Strategy team, where he was instrumental in designing an innovative and global alternative talent solutions program. The program resulted in higher workforce participation rates for people with disabilities, while achieving better-than-average productivity and retention rates. By working with company leaders to prioritize and invest in normalizing employee differences, Dan contributed to systemic change across Amazon, and led the company’s evolution in the disability space. He has also worked on both state and federal policy in the disability space.
