Dan brings over 30 years of professional experience, primarily in the operations and telecommunications fields. He is a do-it-all individual, that isn't afraid to step up and take the reins. He comes to McIlvanePartners from Clarent Corporation, where he managed the Sales Support function for the Worldwide Sales organization. His duties ran the gamut in this former start-up, assembling RFI/RFPs, providing global rapid-response onsite support, designing customer-focused configurations, servicing the Sales field with technical expertise, and maintaining an ongoing line of support for Clarent's customers. His interpersonal skills have shown through when the going gets tough, continuously bringing all sides to common ground.

Prior to that time he held numerous positions during 27+ years with AT&T. These included a host of responsibilities involving Wireless, Outside Plant, Central Office, and Operations, culminating with assignment to AT&T's Tier3 technical support organization that was charged with maintaining the integrity of their entire switching network.

Dan's leadership skills were honed at an early age as the oldest of nine children, as his father's responsibilities kept him away on frequent business trips. He continues to exhibit these attributes through coaching and umpiring at the youth level. He has been seen on a golf course and is a devout Chicago Bears and Cubs fan.
