Having worked in so many places around the world, he can connect with people from all walks of life, regardless of age, gender, language, and country of origin. Also, he is a servant leader - he always puts his staff and the mission of the organization ahead of his personal benefit. I learned so much from Dane, and it was really fun to work with him!" and "I worked under Dane for two years at Eastern Congo Initiative. I can't say enough good things about him. Dane leads with vision and grit. He has a sharp strategic mind – one of the best big-picture thinkers I've encountered – and he has the patience and focus to actualize his vision. He is that rare combination of tenacious and level-headed. Most impressively (at least to me), he treats his team with the utmost respect. He listens and is very receptive to a new approach or tactic when presented. Also, Dane's a natural mentor. He went above and beyond to cultivate opportunities for staff to learn, grow, and reach their potential. I would jump at the chance to work with him again. "
