“We've got incredible people in all of our offices – I think clients would be amazed to hear who we have and what they're capable of.”

In the world of technology consultancy, where others see design and components, Dan sees the potential for genuine impact. That perspective – shaped over almost fifteen years leading Hewshott UK – continues to guide him in his dual role as Group CEO and UK Managing Director.

Those real-world experiences showed Dan that the true strength of the company lies in its people. Hewshott’s individual offices hire interesting, capable people, each with different strengths, perspectives and ways of working. As Group CEO, Dan works hard to unlock the company’s full potential by uniting this exceptional talent across regions, enabling teams to work together in ways that amplify both capability and collective impact.

At its heart is a recognition that Hewshott is not just a technology consultant, but a creative partner. While process plays a critical role in delivering every project to Hewshott’s high standards, Dan has always believed that an inspired and motivated team is directly linked to positive client experiences and optimal outcomes. His leadership approach encourages flexibility of style, thinking and technical ability to create the ideal conditions for people to perform at their best.

That desire to deliver is underpinned by a sense of integrity, where honesty and openness matter most. Across all global offices, doing the right thing for clients and colleagues is non-negotiable, even when it might not be commercially advantageous for the company. By sitting alongside the client and asking good questions, Dan knows Hewshott teams become fully aligned on exactly what needs to be achieved in the best interests of the project.

Now as the consultancy landscape evolves towards holistic experience design, that approach has never been more valuable. Dan sees success as ‘frictionless technology’ – invisible, intuitive, and seamless. If people enter a room, immerse in the moment, and leave without ever thinking about the systems enabling it, the solution has worked exactly as it should. For Dan, that outcome is ultimately a reflection of the people behind it, whose creativity turns ideas into experience and makes the complex look simply effortless.
