Dan Rose is a Cloud Data Services at Oracle Corporation. Colleagues describe him as "Dan lead our team at Oracle for many years. He is one of the best leaders I've worked under.
He created a very friendly and safe environment for the team. This encouraged everyone to share ideas openly and brainstorm for the best solutions without the fear of judgement. If I or anyone ever had a point of view about a problem, that was different than his, he was always open to have a conversation about it. Never the 'my way or the highway' kind of a boss.
I learnt a lot from him about stakeholder management, leadership and strategic decision making. Even in the deep analysis we would often dive into, he would always have the end customer big picture on his mind. Dan led a lot of our work centered around customer analysis, how they use our products, customer satisfaction etc. This was key to providing the company with a 360 degree view of the customer experience directly impacting the improvement of our products." and "It was my very great pleasure to work for Dan for several years, during which time I saw him encounter many challenges - all of which were handled with great skill. He cares about the people who work for him and is deeply invested in their success and development, this creates an environment in which ideas flourish and progress is made. Dan has a strong customer-centric vision, he drives a clear understanding of customer derived value that leads to a common purpose, anchored in customer satisfaction - the ideal work environment! Simply one of the best people I have had the pleasure of working with."
