The son of Syrian and Romanian immigrants, Daniel saw his parents work twice as hard for the same opportunities and recognized early in his career that there is an inherent bias in the DNA of the workforce. This inspired Daniel to build Checkr—to create a more even playing field for all by helping businesses reduce bias and establish fair chance hiring practices. Today, Checkr is an AI-powered unicorn valued at $4.6B and used by tens of thousands of companies and millions of job seekers. Before founding Checkr, Daniel worked on Mars rover prototypes at NASA.
