Daniel was an early entrepreneur. He started a t-shirt business at the age of eight and then partnered with a car detailing franchise to provide cleaning services throughout his high school years. 

In college, he joined a brokerage firm and spent 3 years working on Wall Street and learning how stock markets worked. With his newly acquired financial knowledge, Daniel knew he needed to return to entrepreneurship and build a business combining finance and the growing opportunities of the internet.  

In the year 2000, he banded together with three friends, raised $200,000, and built and online trading business that was acquired withing six months by what was Argentina's largest financial player at the time. 

As his nimble company of four grew to 85+ employees, Daniel struggled to cope with the pressures of scaling. It was at this time that Daniel met his future mentor and business partner, Verne Harnish. Daniel enrolled in Verne's MIT course, "Birthing of Giants" (today re-branded as "Entrepreneurial Master Program"). 

The decision to enroll was the best and most pivotal decision that Daniel has ever made in his career. It not only gave Daniel the foundation and methodology to scale his business successfully, it also led him to help launch a community of “titans” who continue to network, support, and mentor each other to this day.

 Daniel’s next business launched just before the untimely crash of the financial markets in 2008. His business was shut down and Daniel took on $1 million in debt.

It was the lowest point in his life, one that drove him away from entrepreneurship and towards a stable job at his father’s company. Once again, Verne Harnish popped into Daniel’s life at just the right time. Not letting Daniel wallow in his pain or give up on entrepreneurship, Verne offered him a coaching position at Gazelles.

Growth Institute was born out of Daniel’s vision to help entrepreneurs to be good leaders and successfully scale their companies, all while still maintaining a high quality of life. Daniel is on a mission to give executives the support and methodologies that he wishes he had in his entrepreneurial journey. In less than a decade, Growth Institute has been recognized among the top 5,000 fastest growing companies in the USA, with over 40,000 members across 64 countries.
