Dan is a technology visionary with more than a quarter-century of leadership developing groundbreaking systems in the technology space. His early experience was in software development where he engineered an automotive Dealer Communications System (DCS) for Newgen Systems that connected car dealerships across Canada.

Dan led the development of mobile data initiatives for the Lenbrook group of companies, which included ClearNET. His successes included team leadership in the transition of an AS400 based solution for Intertrans Logistics. The transition became a micro-based solution for carriers and trucking companies.

He was commissioned to design remote workforce order entry systems for McDonald’s Restaurants, GM Visa Card and Sears Canada.

Michael’s technical expertise and vision led him to develop a complete order entry, billing and wireless dispatch systems for one of Toronto’s largest same day courier companies.
