I highly recommend Dan Sloat to any organization seeking a forward-thinking and inspiring leader in the aviation and AAM industry. His work is truly transformative, and his character is impeccable.

Dan possesses both the ability to quietly listen and absorb the conversation around him, as well as the gift of holding the attention of an audience of one to a full auditorium. Most importantly, he has the discernment to recognize the right situations for leaning on either of these gifts, or for active, empathetic listening.

I've known Dan as both an Air Force officer and am pleased to call him both a colleague and friend. As a collaborator, his vast experiences, growth mindset, and keen attention to detail have contributed to engaging business and professional conversations, as well as informed edits of professional documents and publications. As a friend, Dan's interest and support of others is genuine. Most importantly, if Dan says he's going to do something, you know he'll be true to his word.

No matter the task, resources, or risks, choosing Dan to lead or participate on your team is one of the best and easiest choices you could make. He has my highest endorsement!
