Dan Berman is an ICF-certified executive coach who brings more than 30 years of corporate sales and marketing leadership to his work with executives and emerging leaders. He came to coaching in 2020, pivoting from a long career in media and entertainment to fulfill a passion he had held for years, and has since spent his time helping clients become more engaged leaders and optimal performers.
Dan built his corporate career at best-in-class media and entertainment organizations, including NBCUniversal, Discovery Communications, Oprah Winfrey Network, and Altice USA. His corporate roles have included Head of Advertising Sales, Director of Sales, Affiliate Marketing Director, and Manager of National Advertising Sales. Most recently, he held Senior Partner roles at Keystone Partners and Careerminds, where he focused on leadership development and career transition.
He has coached leaders at all levels across a wide array of industries: media; entertainment; manufacturing; healthcare; marketing; financial services; professional advisory; consumer products; and law. Dan's intuition, relatability, probing insight, and humor build the trust that allows clients to do real work — becoming more self-aware, more motivated, and more focused on the outcomes that matter to them. He pairs that relational instinct with extensive executive coach training and the credibility of someone who has sat in the operator's chair, translating insight into action his clients can use immediately.
Dan earned his MBA from the New York University Stern School of Business and a Bachelor of Science from Union College, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude.
