Watch: Meet a Legend – Stéfan Danis – Chief Talent Officer & CEO, Mandrake

Chief Talent Officer & CEO, Mandrake

With 25 years of experience in executive recruiting, Stéfan Danis’ accomplishments include leading hundreds of executive searches, recruiting more than 25 presidents of marketing agencies, co-leading the growth of one of Canada’s largest search firms and co founding the Canadian Marketing Hall of Legends.

Outside of work, Stéfan frequently lectures at universities to help the next generation of professionals prepare for their career and was awarded the Paul Mulvihill Humanitarian award in recognition of his work with charities. He is also a best-selling author and his book Gobi Runner appeared on Amazon’s top 10 list of motivational books.

Stefan’s legacy is to inspire individuals to “go for it” and to help build the resilience of the younger generation, who he says, too frequently has it a little too easy.
