We just keep getting better!

Hi, I'm Dan and I'm the CEO

I came to TASC as a young lawyer who wanted to make a difference.  It allowed me the space, elasticity and support to be able to innovatively respond to some pretty damn big social and legal issues.  It also gave me a great team of people who supported both legal innovation and wanting to make a real difference each and every day to the lives of the most disadvantaged.  

Since becoming CEO, I'm as keen as mustard to ensure what I experienced is replicated for each and every member of our team.  That's why we insist that our TASC Force have time to dream up new approaches and time to work across our diverse organisation.  We don't encourage staleness.  We really are a dynamic organisation.  The people who succeed here are invariably those who have a deep-seated sense of social justice and irrepressible enthusiasm for changing the world, either by one person at a time, or whole systems.  We do both here!  

While all that sounds way too serious, never before have I worked anywhere that offers the conditions, interspersed with great people and good fun!
