Whyline
COO
Whyline let people wait in line from their phone instead of standing in it. I was its COO from 2017 to 2021. Clear later bought it for $67.5M in cash.

- $67.5M
It sold virtual queue software to businesses.
I built and led the teams for engineering, QA, analytics and operations. I ran engineering itself for over a year.
I designed solutions for clients and worked on enterprise RFPs. For a while I also oversaw the sales process. The product roadmap sat with me, and so did support, customer success, implementation and localization.
I worked on the Seattle-Tacoma airport bid that led Clear to buy the company.
What people said
Daniel took ownership of everything on the execution side — engineering direction, client implementations, customer support, recruiting. He let us focus on the product and the fundraise knowing the operation was in good hands.
Michael TwerskyCo-Founder, Whyline We needed someone who could run the day-to-day across engineering, onboarding, support, and solutions architecture while we focused on sales and strategy. Daniel did all of that and built the team around it.
