CEO
Hello! I'm Daniel, the driving force behind Clotheslyne, a pioneering gig economy startup. My journey is a tapestry of diverse experiences, from leading aviation logistics in Southeast Asia for Royal Dutch Shell to navigating the skies as a CH-53E helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps, serving in three combat tours across Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2021, I channeled my passion for leadership and innovation into co-founding Clotheslyne. We're transforming the laundry industry through a unique, app-based, two-sided marketplace. Our mission? To simplify laundry chores by connecting customers with local gig workers for convenient, reliable service. Based in Goshen, NY, we've expanded our operations across 8 states and 35 markets, rapidly growing each month.
Clotheslyne's recent selection for the Techstars NYC Winter 2023 accelerator is a testament to our vision and potential. This achievement isn't just ours but a beacon for small-town entrepreneurs who dare to dream big.
My diverse background shapes my leadership style, from the disciplined, strategic mindset fostered in the military to the dynamic, innovative approach required in the startup world. I believe in empowering teams, fostering a culture of respect and inclusivity, and leading by example.
In my free time, I channel my energy into exploring new cultures or engaging in professional coaching. I'm passionate about sharing my insights on leadership, entrepreneurship, and overcoming challenges, especially in environments that lack a traditional tech startup ecosystem.
