His leadership is defined by deep market expertise, a forward-looking investment approach, and a passion for uncovering disruptive trends that shape the economy.

Here are three ways you can catch up on Dan’s latest perspectives!

• What better place to start than at the very beginning? Celebrating his 30th anniversary at Alger last year, Dan sat down with Alex Bernstein , host of The Alger Podcast: Investing in Growth and Change, to reflect on his time and evolving role at Alger. From the rise of the internet to today’s AI revolution, Dan witnessed firsthand how technological advancements have reshaped investing. Tune in to part one and part two to hear the full conversation.
• Innovation isn’t just something we invest in — it’s embedded in our approach. Since Fred Alger founded the firm, over 60 years ago, we’ve remained steadfast in our philosophy of identifying companies poised for transformative growth. Under Dan’s leadership, our team continues to apply deep fundamental research and a data-driven approach to stay ahead of change and deliver long-term value to investors. To drive this philosophy forward, Dan emphasizes the qualities that define a great Alger analyst: curiosity, a keen eye for both small details and the bigger picture, and relentless determination.
