About Daniel Egger
Daniel Egger delivers measurable results from purpose-led ideas. Austrian-born with a decade-plus in Brazil, he bridges European rigor and Latin American agility to guide teams from concept to validated product.
He has led corporate innovation at firms like Mercedes-Benz (Head of Strategic Projects) and scaled two major ventures from zero to market: a bio-sensing smart wearable (at Swarovski) and an AI energy-optimization platform (at INNIO). As a consultant (Global Co-Lead at Symnetics), he partnered with 35+ enterprises to build MVPs and establish repeatable growth systems.
Today, Daniel operates at the intersection of strategic foresight, product strategy, and applied AI, holding an MBA in Innovation and certificates in Disruptive Strategy (Harvard Business School Online) and Platform Strategy (MIT Sloan). He is Co-Founder of Escola Amarela, a mentor (PUC Angels), and a sought-after MBA lecturer at top Brazilian schools (Sustentare, Insper). He has worked with cross-functional teams on RAG architectures and responsible AI adoption.
Daniel’s approach is hands-on and outcome-driven: he prioritizes problem clarification, rapid experimentation, and scaling validated solutions. As a father, he is committed to building a more equitable future, a principle that informs his approach to leadership and workplace culture.
