Dan Kelly is a multi-exit Founder, global thought leader, and advisory board member with a proven success record of more than 15 years.

Mr. Kelly started his career with the FBI but discovered that being a government employee wasn’t for him as he prefers a pay-for-performance (vs. time-in-grade) compensation model. Dan has been recognized by several local, regional, and global mainstream media publications. For example, INC Magazine recognized Mr. Kelly, and a company he founded (“The Negotiator Guru”), as #15 on the INC 5000 and the 2nd fastest growing private company in Minnesota.

Mr. Kelly is a hands-on executive operator that focuses on creating simple and scalable organizations, supported by strong team culture, that organically produce significant return on investment for all stakeholders. Mr. Kelly has been issued a “Top Secret - SCI” security clearance by the US Department of Justice (FBI) and a separate “Q” clearance by the US Department of Energy, among others.

Mr. Kelly is very active in many philanthropic efforts including, but not limited to, the reduction of crimes against children globally.
