Daniel Michael Newland
Palm Springs, California
Danny founded TechStack in January 2023 to fix something he kept seeing in his enterprise IT career: businesses fragmented across one agency for design, another for development, a third for SEO, a fourth for marketing — nothing talking to each other, nothing compounding. TechStack consolidates the work under one roof, with a built-in intelligence layer — Book Value, Drift Radar, Voice Training — that makes every engagement self-measuring.
His background runs through enterprise data and AI: Global IT Support Manager at FTC Solar (a public renewable-energy company on SOX), Director of Training & AI Enablement at American Expediting, Software Trainer / Implementation at US LBM, and Senior Customer Success Manager at sales-i (SugarCRM) — where he reduced churn 45% and grew NRR to ~118%. Across consulting engagements he's delivered 90% faster time-to-insight, ~$900K annual savings per client on AI-ready warehouse builds, and zero failed SOX audit samples.
Outside TechStack, Danny is a published author of five books on leadership, ADHD, intentional living, and abstraction — Phi Theta Kappa honoree — with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Business Administration & Management. He operates from Palm Springs, California, at the center of the Coachella Valley wellness, medspa, and aesthetics market that Retention IQ serves.
