Daniel Siegel Email & Phone Number

Strapped in tight for 30 years on the entrepreneurial roller coaster.In Junior Achievement during high school, Dan built two dozen car safety lights and sold two of them, both to his Grandma Nore. He lost a few bucks. In college, Dan launched a student guide book which broke even. Hopeful. After graduation, rather than following the herd to a corporate job, Dan tended one on a kibbutz in Israel. During the ensuing two year odyssey around Europe and the Middle East, Dan helped build a community center for Ethiopian refugees, worked the ski lifts in the French Alps, earned an Outstanding Soldier award during basic training in the Israeli Army and picked grapes for a 1990 Joseph Roty Burgundy he still can't afford today. Dan's adventure continued upon return to the U.S. as a co-founder of Student Advantage, "the AARP for students". With the early support from Grandma Nore (in the form of free room and board), the organization grew from a 2-person credit card funded basement start-up to a 500-person venture backed $1B public company. Now we're talkin'.In the early 2000's Dan began buying, fixing and selling properties between Boston, NYC, Jackson, WY, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Mammoth, CA, Bozeman, MT and Shelter Island, NY. His biggest challenge was finding a resource for green building materials ie: recycled glass tiles, bamboo wood flooring and solar panels. So he build one.Around 2005, with his Santa Monica neighbor Mark Eastwood, they launched evo.com which quickly became the largest online green marketplace, powering National Geographic's Green Guide. The 2008 crash temporarily downgraded consumer concerns about green purchasing and by 2010 the technology was put on hold. Luckily the evo.com domain was sold in the unwinding to former pro skier and impressive entrepreneur Bryce Phillips who's now crushing it with a fast growing action sports venture.Dan was recruited by a prior investor and world class surgeon as the CEO of his healthcare services start up. Their mission was to monitor and protect a patient's nervous system during surgery. Dan helped grow the five person start-up into a 135 person company and navigated a successful exit to a $3B public company (NUVA). Dan agreed to remain with NUVA for a year to integrate four acquisitions into one cohesive culture and lead Global Services, a 650 person, $135M division servicing 100,000 patients annually.As CEO of Synergy Health Partners, the North Star is to KEEP CARE LOCAL. Local care drives better patient access and balanced provider lifestyles in rural and underserved hospitals.
