Danny leads participatory research for a cooperative economy. He is developing a worker-led quality jobs investment fund. Most recently he was Lead Researcher at Turning Basin Labs, a staffing co-op based in California, facilitating a range of worker- and user-led studies on job quality, workforce development, and economic mobility. Danny has worked with a variety of community-owned digital tools including Up & Go, a platform for booking home and office cleaning services in NYC. He has also done applied research to expand wage claim access with the California Department of Labor and grassroots organizers, and to streamline data analytics at American Express. To support economic justice in business development, Danny created the Ownership Model Canvas with the co-op accelerator Start.coop. Danny believes everyone can do influential and politically imaginative research.
