Holly Stephens

Founder & CEO, Subly • Fractional Sales Pros Client

"I had the pleasure of working with Danny for several months and would highly recommend him to any team looking for experienced, high-impact sales support.
Danny joined us as a UK-based company targeting the US market and was able to step into the role seamlessly. He became effective very quickly and brought a strong level of confidence, commercial awareness, and professionalism from day one.
What really stood out was his ability to contribute beyond execution. He actively identified opportunities to improve our existing sales approach and made thoughtful, practical recommendations that genuinely strengthened our process. He built strong rapport with US prospects, clearly understood the dynamics of selling into that market, and represented our company extremely well. His experience showed in how naturally he handled conversations and how little direction he needed to add real value.
Danny is someone you can drop into a project and trust to perform at a senior level. He combines hands-on delivery with strategic thinking, which makes him especially valuable for fast-moving or scaling teams. I would not hesitate to recommend him and would happily work with him again."

Jeffrey Szczepanski

Stack Overflow • Managed Danny directly

"Danny was the first sales hire on the Stack Overflow ad sales team, and he quickly became the operational owner of that business's revenue engine.
Danny was not just 'selling deals.' He built and ran the quarterly revenue pipeline end to end while simultaneously closing major accounts himself. He scaled the sales team in response to inventory growth, mentored and coached reps, developed sales materials, worked closely with ad ops, and ensured that what we sold could actually be delivered. Few sales leaders can do all of that well at once. Danny did.
What I valued most about Danny was his judgment. He understood the difference between short-term pipeline pressure and long-term revenue health and client success. We worked closely on strategy, with Danny owning execution and quarter-to-quarter results. He consistently translated strategy into concrete action, process, and results.
Danny is especially strong in founder-led or early-stage environments where structure, credibility, and hands-on leadership matter. If you need someone who can both build the system and carry the number, Danny is the real deal."

"Danny is the kind of front line manager every team deserves. Not only is his sales acumen incredible, but his adaptability to each team member's preferred coaching style is incredible to watch. For me personally, Danny has not only helped refine me and help me grow as a seller, but he also effectively communicated with senior leadership on behalf of our team. Danny is a class act and I would jump at the opportunity to work with or be managed by him again."

Stack Overflow • Reported directly to Danny

"I had the privilege of working with and reporting to Danny for over six years. In that time, Danny lead the massive growth of our business unit while me and my team delivered operational support under his leadership. While consistently hitting individual and team goals to which you could set your watch, he deftly guided me through the challenges of scaling a business and my career. Danny's passion for our products and customers enabled us to deliver exceptional customer experience and results. His pragmatism, leadership, and wisdom focused and guided us through complicated challenges and exciting opportunities and everything in between. Our back-and-forth-- whether managing accounts, devising creative solutions to problems, or discussing weekend plans-- is something I remember fondly. Our relationship is one that inspired, supported, and drove me to be more awesome. I'd be thrilled to work with Danny again in the future!"

"I was hired and managed by Danny at Stack Overflow and wish I had more opportunities to learn from his leadership of a successful product and team, which he spearheaded from its infancy. During my time, I found him to show the utmost professionalism, care, and empathy for building quality relationships internally and externally. His collaborative leadership was exactly what was needed during the critical growth stage when I joined. He has a great demeanor with everyone and is also proficient at understanding and supporting the success motions required to nurture and grow key accounts, sales, product, and customer success teams. Danny is hands-down one of my favorite bosses and I believe he would be a strong asset to any sales organization, especially in the technology/software field and ads market."

"I reported to Danny for almost three years during my time at Stack Overflow. Danny does a great job managing the needs of his salespeople with the needs of the company, and brings fairness and pragmatism to every situation that comes his way. Danny was always there for me when I needed coaching and guidance, and I am no doubt a better salesperson thanks to his leadership. I hope to work with Danny again in the future."

Stack Overflow • Managed Danny directly

"I had the pleasure of working with Danny while at Stack. By way of background, Danny built the ad sales and operations teams from the ground up into a very profitable low 8 figure business unit. He personally sold tens of millions of dollars and nurtured Stack's largest accounts over his time at Stack. He is professional, hard working, loyal and goal oriented. He will be an asset to any company looking to grow its business."

Dammand Cherry

Stack Overflow • Reported directly to Danny

"I've worked in the media industry for over 18 years, and over that time I've worked with good, average and unfortunately bad managers. I can say Danny Miller doesn't fit any of those descriptions. Danny was an exceptional manager who not only cared about the job at hand but you as a person. Too often companies look for managers with one skill set that meets the company's bottom line, which I understand. But what good is a manager if their team can't rally around them to push what's possible. If you are reading this and represent an established company or a startup, Danny Miller can push the envelope and help your organization realize what is possible with professionalism and compassion for the people working with him and around him."

Dean Grant

The Wall Street Journal & Stack Overflow • Colleague & direct report

"I worked with Danny as a colleague during our days at The Wall Street Journal and most recently I reported to him at Stack Overflow. All in, I worked with Danny for about 8 years. Danny's sales style is to work hard and have fun while delivering on results. As a manager he gave enough advice to keep his team on track and give enough space to allow for the team to perform as individuals. Danny knows the ad business really well and stays abreast of new innovations that continue to evolve the industry."
