Infranode has a clear focus on supporting people’s growth and development,” he says.

Daniel’s career at Infranode began following a comprehensive hiring process. The process not only ensured he had the right skills, but also helped him get a better picture of Infranode’s culture and how he might contribute to it.

Since joining the company in 2021, Daniel believes the company’s culture has played a significant role in his experience thus far.

Working at Infranode means being part of a close-knit team. We all know each other, and there’s a lot of trust. That really helps us perform at a higher level,” he says.

Growth while on parental leave

He started as a Senior Associate, drawn to Infranode’s focus on long-term infrastructure and its impact on society. But one of his most memorable moments came while he was at home on parental leave caring for his newborn.

At the time, he was up for his annual performance review and was given the option of waiting until he returned to work full time or doing the review while still on leave. Daniel opted for the latter.

“At the end of the review, I was told I was being promoted.” he recalls. “It felt great to know I was still top of mind for the company, even while I was away.”

Making a difference through long-term investments

Since returning to work following his promotion, Daniel has focused on investing in critical infrastructure projects that contribute to building a resilient society, something he finds both challenging and deeply rewarding.

“What drives me is the purpose of what we do. We’re not just deploying capital—we’re making a difference in society, whether it’s through renewable energy or improving infrastructure.”

One of the most significant projects Daniel has worked on is the acquisition of two biogas plants in Denmark.

“It’s not just about producing renewable energy; it’s about supporting local farmers and contributing to energy independence. It’s exciting to know that the investments we’re making today will help reduce carbon emissions and push the world in the right direction.”

The road ahead

As Daniel continues to grow in his new role at Infranode, he remains committed to the company’s mission of creating lasting value through long-term investments. The balance between professional achievement and personal fulfillment makes his journey especially meaningful.

“What I enjoy most, both personally and professionally, is working with my colleagues. We’re all working toward the same goal, and it feels good to know we’re making a real difference.”
