About Me
- Aaron Daniels
- I have over 15 years of business development experience, working for both a major corporation and as an entrepreneur. I recently built on that experience by earning a Master's degree in International Business Management (a globally focused MBA). My degree had a focus in Mandarin Chinese and my Master's thesis was a business development consultation project for a major global software manufacturer.

**Master's degree focused in Mandarin Chinese
**Managed multi-cultural teams to successful completion of projects
Project Manager/Owner, Yukon Group
**Developed business to regional market dominance in my niche industry within first 3 years of operations; responsible for $1.5M top line revenues annually
**Developed systems to reduce project operating costs 30%, saving $250,000 annually
**Developed budgets and time lines of projects for Starbucks Coffee Company; maintained P&L responsibility for all projects, consistently finishing projects on-time and under budget
