Career

Daniel was an officer of the U.S. Navy Supply corps in the 1950s, where he worked with early IBM mainframes. He joined McKinsey & Company, Inc. in 1957 and was a senior partner from 1968 to 1990. He served as managing director for twelve years (1976-1988) — preceding Fred Gluck — and is currently senior partner emeritus of the firm.

At McKinsey Daniel developed the concept of critical success factors. He hired and mentored future managing director Rajat Gupta. He was Jeffrey Skilling's former boss before Skilling became CEO of Enron.

In 2004, he described himself as "the bridge between McKinsey's founding generation and the present".

Outside McKinsey he was a director of Yum! Brands and chairman of New York-based private equity firm Ripplewood Holdings.
