Daniel is a Project Manager in Daemeter’s Social, Smallholder and Livelihoods unit, working across social performance, ESG due diligence, safeguards compliance, GHG accounting, and biodiversity assessment. His work spans Indonesia’s mining, palm oil, forestry, and carbon sectors, combining community-facing fieldwork with structured analytical delivery, bridging investor-grade due diligence with the safeguards monitoring that underpins accountability over project life.

He has contributed substantively to an FPIC and stakeholder engagement programme for a mining project in Maluku, delivered HCV biodiversity field surveys across multiple oil palm concessions in Kalimantan, and supported a large-scale FSC Social Baseline Assessment covering approximately 100 villages in Sumatera. He has also evaluated safeguards compliance for a REDD+ emissions reduction programme, designed, piloted and co-led a corporate GHG disclosure framework aligned with the GHG Protocol, and processed supply chain datasets for client-facing dashboards. His approach is grounded in the IFC Performance Standards, IRMA, FSC, RSPO, and OECD due diligence guidance. He co-authored a scientific paper documenting a new provincial record for an endangered Borneo dragonfly discovered during fieldwork.

Daniel is drawn to work that bridges community engagement with technical environmental analysis, and is building his focus in safeguards, sustainable finance, and carbon and biodiversity credits.

Born in Indonesia and holding a BSc in Biology from Aberystwyth University in the United Kingdom, Daniel is certified in the IFC Performance Standards and fluent in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Daniel splits his free time between the gym and Muay Thai training, and gets out on the water whenever he can to sail or scuba dive.
