Daniel Nehring Email & Phone Number

Daniel Nehring is a Senior Manager User Experience at Discover Financial Services. Colleagues describe them as "The term “rock star” gets thrown around a lot for people who are high performers. In Dan’s case, it’s actually true. If I were building my own team he would be the first person I would recruit. A strong leader, Dan provides critical feedback well and is an excellent coach. He excels at understanding how people work and giving them insight on ways they can improve, and he knows how to push the right buttons to motivate people. This includes being an extremely hard worker and leading by example. He does an excellent job of understanding what the business needs, what the market landscape is, and how the user experience should fit into the whole. He’s a top-notch design thinker and collaborator. People like to say they challenge the status quo, but Dan really does do that. It’s partly because he works hard at really knowing his subject and/or market – it’s rare that you’ll know something that he doesn’t. He makes that knowledge work to drive toward the right solution. He’s one of the best time managers I know, and he knows how to best utilize his team to get the most out of them. As an excellent speaker/presenter, Dan knows how to command a room and get the most out of meeting times. In his time here as a manager in UX&D, he has brought a quality and consistency which has resulted in our organization growing stronger and more capable. On a personal level, Dan has been an important mentor to me and has helped me improve as both a practitioner and a manager. He’s also one of the nicest and smartest people you will meet. Dan has my highest recommendation for whatever path he chooses to pursue." and "I had the pleasure to work with Dan for many years on the Web Technology and Architecture team for The Kroger Co (a Fortune 25 company) and I highly recommend him -- he has strong work ethic, often thinks outside the box, is extremely creative, enjoys a significant challenge and is certainly a team player."
