Daniel Gorton, MSW's Linkedin Analytics

I am passionate about delivering empathetic and joyful user experiences. I have been applying my unique blend of experiences at the intersection of people, data, technology, and organizational priorities for over 20 years. My education in psychology (B.S.) and social work (MSW) nicely complement my technical career with a focus on better human interactions with systems. I love paying it forward by giving back to Salesforce's Trailblazer Community, such as by presenting and supporting Trailblazers at Dreamin' events (which are voluntarily organized by leaders in the Salesforce community)! As a multi-certified Salesforce architect, I apply empathy and optimize the holistic experiences people have with a technology platform to maximize value for them. For instance, I love reducing clicks, effort, and time spent on mundane tasks. As a data aficionado, I believe in unlocking actionable insights grounded in data management best practices, curiosity and an evolving strategy for success. My specialities and empathy are informed by education, workplace projects, personal experiences, philanthropy, and ongoing studies, including: ► Over 20 years of nonprofit experience in a variety of roles (board member, staff, consultant, and volunteer) for organizations with a variety of programs and services (therapeutic, clinical, educational, health, life sciences, youth development, culture and arts, conversation, preservation) ► 10 years of corporate experience ► Human-centered user experiences and change management ► Strategizing and architecting for long-term success ► Data and analytics ► Maximizing the value of CRM, data, and technology systems including Salesforce I'm also a: ► Public speaker including at: WITness Success 2024, Midwest Dreamin’ 2024, Northeast Dreamin’ 2023, Florida Dreamin’ 2024 & 2023, Dreamforce 2019 (including the Trailhead Keynote), Dreamforce 2018 ► Salesforce Trailblazer Community enthusiast, contributor, and connector in local and online groups since 2016 ► Dreamin’ In Data 2024 conference organizer ► Lifelong learner (including 12 Salesforce certifications and over 400 learning badges)
