Dan Gigante
Chief Technology Officer
It’s safe to say that Dan skates through life with hockey on the brain. His puck-love scales from playing in local, recreational leagues all the way to following the Buffalo Sabres wherever they roam – just don’t ask him who wins more often. Dan’s “ice, ice baby” mindset has taken him to NHL games in 28 arenas outside of Buffalo. Where next you ask? Only Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver are left on the list, which he hopes to see all in one great Canadian road trip soon – eh, Katie?
When he’s not playing hockey, he’s with his wife, Katie and their labradoodle, Ellie. At all other times, you’ll probably catch Dan on his Macbook working on one of his new ideas – just grab a coffee and ask him about it.
