Данканово познавање и страст према заједници којој ФЕСПА служи учинило је лаком одлуку да се врати 2022. да води тим за маркетинг и догађаје након скоро три године пружања догађаја светске класе за ХР заједницу.

Са више од 20 година искуства у Б2Б комуникацијама и догађајима, Данканово искуство као старијег новинара и касније директора догађаја свих формата догађаја у неколико сектора – од јавне безбедности, робе широке потрошње и хране и пића – добро га је припремило да игра кључну улогу у Раст ФЕСПА-е са фокусом на смислен садржај и везе за глобалну штампарску заједницу који се испоручују кроз наш програм награда, конференције и догађаје на нашим глобалним изложбама од 2010-2019.

Данкан ужива у голфу, веслању и другим активностима на отвореном са пријатељима и своје две ћерке тинејџерке.
