Hi, I'm Robin Daniels, The James Bond of B2B, at least according to one legenday VC 😆

I'm an experienced executive focused on growth, marketing, GTM, product innovation, and leadership development to deliver epic results through ground-breaking, fun, and highly differentiated activities, while empowering people and teams to do the best work of their lives. 

I'm Chief Business Officer for Zensai (zensai.com) - where I run Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and GTM.

Throughout my career I've held executive leadership roles in high growth companies of all sizes, including Matterport (IPO) WeWork (near IPO), Salesforce, LinkedIn, Box (IPO), Veritas, and Vera (acquired).

My areas of expertise include growth strategy, product innovation, marketing, product marketing communications and media, GTM strategies, org design, leadership development, innovation management, mergers & acquisitions, top-level leadership, category-creation, brand building, public speaking, and sales transformation.

Here's more about my life story and journey during the last two decades: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/roadmap-life-love-happiness-robin-daniels/

I spent over 20 years in the US and UK, but I'm from Copenhagen, Denmark and an avid runner and movie nerd.

As a former motorsport athlete turned operator and investor, my career has been defined by a love for working with brilliant minds. I thrive on bridging the gap between talent and opportunity - and telling the stories that fuel that bridge.

I'm heading up different companies:

📈 Paaske & Co | My consulting firm specialized in building thought leadership within the tech and investment industries. I work with executives, entrepreneurs, family offices, VCs and PE firms to build unique storytellings and execute organic content-led growth strategies that drives business results - backed by deep vertical knowledge.

🚀 Abeam | A curated global community for unicorn founders, top-investors and leading executives. We are removing the noise and facilitating real-life peer-to-peer connection for those at the top of their game. (Download the Abeam in App Store to apply for membership).

On LinkedIn, I usually share unfiltered thoughts on startups, investments, and what it actually takes to build. No fluff. No BS. Just straight talk from someone who's been on both sides of the table and seen the good and the bad.

“It is fundamentally important for humanity that America wins.” - Ben Horowitz.

Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) just raised $15B for their latest fund. Think about that. One single American venture capital firm just raised more capital than European VCs have raised combined in 2025. ($11B - based on an assumption from H1 2025 numbers).

Venture capital is the bridge between an ambitious idea and a generational empire. 

Just look at the world’s 10 most valuable companies.

8 are American. 7 of them were venture-backed.

While Europe debates regulations, committees, and "sovereign frameworks," America is playing a different game. 

And Horowitz is being very loud about it: “Our mission is ensuring that America wins the next 100 years of technology.”

If anyone's wondering why the US is so ahead of us in Europe, this is a very concrete example.

Founder @ Abeam - The home for outliers. Former VC. Board member. Tech nerd.
