Dossier INT/GL — International Relations
Dan's international work spans Latin America — Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic — Asia, including China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, and Thailand, and Eastern Europe's Ukraine, Poland, and Bulgaria. As Chief Executive Director of Kayastha Global Associates, and through ventures like Salud Health USA's 28-country CareClix telemedicine footprint and Compass Living's expansion into Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, he's built more than 25 years on the belief that market entry succeeds or fails on local credibility, not headquarters strategy.
That has extended into community as well as commerce, including past involvement with the Asian Community Resources Center.

Founded the venture that greenfielded into Latin America, growing the CareClix telemedicine platform into a 28-country footprint and closing the placement of Secured Communications software into Hospital Santa Fe de Bogotá.
Co-founded and led business development for a hospitality venture that greenfielded into Asia, with operations centered in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, building local partnerships rather than running expansion from a distance.
