Bio

Daniel is Associate Professor (Practice) in Carbon Markets at the Nanyang Business School. Before transitioning to academia full-time, he spent close to 18 years in industry where he undertook a variety of roles across the Energy and Decarbonization value chains, including Commodity Trading, Acquisitions & Divestments, and Capital Project Delivery. Previous adjunct teaching appointments include Shell's in-house Advanced Negotiation Program; Integrated Gas Agreements Course; and leading the delivery of its Natural Gas Course.

Within the context of Carbon Markets, he first began work in 2009 by establishing Shell's Carbon Trading desk in Singapore for compliance markets in Australia and New Zealand. In 2018, he moved upstream and led several initiatives to establish nature-based carbon projects in South-East Asia, primarily focused on forest conservation. Subsequently in 2021, as part of the management team, he helped to setup Climate Impact X, a Singapore-based voluntary carbon markets exchange focused on serving corporate clients globally, where he led the successful delivery of a landmark auction program for blue carbon.

His current teaching focus areas include both the topics of Climate Risk and Carbon Markets, which he delivers at the Undergraduate, Post-Graduate and Executive Education levels respectively. He is also concurrently Director for the Carbon Markets Academy of Singapore (CMAS), an NTU initiative supported by EnterpriseSG and the Singapore Economic Development Board to promote the development and training of resources for the Carbon Services and Trading sector in the region.
