Recent Client Testimonials

Jo Lavender CMO LinkedIn

Below are my recent client testimonials, including coaching testimonials through to the consultative Interim Chief Growth Officer role at Global Marketplace Trusted Housesitters.

“I brought Danny in to help us in validating our new long-term strategy. He developed structured cross-functional working methodologies and implemented a new Growth operating model, significantly enhancing our operational efficiency.

Danny facilitated us to roll out our cross-functional model successfully, first as a test with our customer acquisition team and subsequently applying it across two additional business units. This transition enabled us to move from a funnel-based approach to a more dynamic loop-based operating model.

He broke down existing silos between departments and then aligned our organisation towards shared objectives and worked with fellow exec team members to integrate these initiatives into our OKR process.

Danny consulted and coached us on our org design, hiring processes and long-term planning.

Danny left us in a much better place than where he joined us”.

Jo Lavender — CMO TrustedHouseSitters.

My role was Interim Chief Growth Officer in H1 2024.

“I worked with Danny to develop a marketing plan for Visit and was very impressed with the results. His approach and expertise guided us in building a coherent and effective strategy that aligned our product offerings with our target audience. 

I extended our collaboration to personal coaching sessions, where he helped me gain perspective, recognize my strengths and weaknesses, and achieve personal growth. 

I highly recommend Danny for his exceptional ability to provide valuable insights and drive results.

“I can't speak highly enough of Danny as both a coach and as a marketing knowledge leader!

Danny and I first connected when I was embarking on my consulting journey. Our first coaching session together marked a real turning point as Danny supported me in aligning my strengths and goals with positioning and messaging (and crucially the courage to post this on Linkedin!) which led to new client engagements just a few weeks later.

On subsequent sessions I was able to work with Danny to work through specific marketing and leadership challenges presenting across these briefs and he always brought fresh ideas, and more importantly, the support to move forwards with confidence.

The journey into consultancy can be a daunting one but Danny's support, in the form of check in emails, book/ article recommendations and connections, has made a tangible difference to embrace the journey with positivity and confidence!”

“Returning to work after parental leave, I had to reshape my role in a business which had changed significantly whilst I'd been away.

Danny's compassionate coaching style reignited my lost confidence and creativity, providing a tailored, practical approach to the challenges I faced.

In just a couple of Zoom workshops, I was guided through a programme personalised to the specific challenges I faced at the time, which we workshopped together during our meetings.

He's been available at the end of a phone line since for advice, motivational pep talks, and sometimes a little grounding.

Consequently, I've become a more resilient business leader, confident public speaker, and a supportive coach for my own team.

Having coaching by someone who's worked in the same fast-paced environments, in similar leadership roles, meant he knew exactly how to support me. I only wish I'd had this support earlier in my career!”

“I've been working with Danny for several months now, and I can honestly say that the experience has been invaluable. He has helped me to develop a range of valuable tools and frameworks that I can use internally within my organization to develop our strategy.

Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I now have a much clearer understanding of how to structure our business goals and the steps we need to take to achieve them. He has provided me with structure and direction, and has challenged me to think more strategically and creatively about how we can grow and succeed as a company.

I would highly recommend Danny to anyone looking to take their business to the next level. His knowledge, experience, and passion for helping others succeed are truly unmatched, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him again.”
