Colleagues describe him as "Working with Dan Baran was an absolute pleasure, he not only hired me as an Associate Product Manager when I first started at CBSi but has helped me to become a Product Manager by investing into my professional growth and success at CBSi. Dan was a thoughtful leader who pushed our team to deliver on high class solutions to complex problems by achieving cross-departmental agreements and always seeking elegant design solutions. Dan has acted not only as a manager but also as a mentor to the Product team. He was always expressing interest in letting us explore our strengths and investing our energy in projects of interest. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Dan." and "I've had the pleasure of working with Dan in several contexts and capacities spanning more than a decade with CNET and CBS Interactive. As my direct manager on the CNET Catalog Data team in 2004 Dan set (what I would come to recognize as) a very high leadership bar with his patience, consistency, and clarity of vision as our team wrestled to balance lofty external expectations against the backdrop of a staggeringly complex and bug-ridden internal tool suite. Maintaining ocean-liner velocity with business stakeholders while working continuously with engineering to repair/rebuild the engine core was a consistent refrain, but Dan's steadiness and ability to turn external priorities into internal opportunities consistently generated deliverables, while also building careers. I would eventually join the "engine repair" side of the organization myself, as Dan transitioned into CMS and international data management roles, but Dan and I continued to find ways to collaborate, most notably in 2015 when he facilitated the adoption and expansion of a text analytics system I'd developed for one stakeholder in one business unit into an enterprise-wide ad targeting, reporting, and classification mechanism. Under his sponsorship and direction what might have been a single-use throw-away app for a tiny site became a universal swiss-army-knife of CBSi-wide tagging, cross-linking, targeting, and analytics. Dan's ability to pair productivity with opportunity, keep his eye fixed on long-term goals amidst near-term pressures, and maintain a supportive environment throughout make him an excellent mentor and partner. A great addition to any resource management and product leadership team."

Listed skills include Scrum/Agile Trainor, Information Architecture, Cms, Operations Management, and 16 others.
