Daniel Harkavy

Founder, CEO & Executive Coach

Building Champions CEO and Head Coach, Daniel Harkavy, founded the company in 1996 and currently coaches a handful of executives while also representing Building Champions at events around the world. He has coached thousands of professionals to peak levels of success, performance, profitability and fulfillment.

Daniel recently authored, Becoming a Coaching Leader: The Proven Strategy for Building Your Own Team of Champions, which takes his more than 12 years of coaching experience and transfers it into a system that leaders can use to more effectively develop their teams.

Daniel started his career in finance where he quickly developed his team into the company’s most productive and profitable group and was promoted to Vice President. After 10 rewarding years with that company, a one year sabbatical allowed him to realize his vision for starting a company whose sole product would be to help others lead more purposeful businesses and lives.

As a leader, Daniel practices what he preaches. He makes time to talk with his employees and understand who they are personally and where they want to go professionally. Daniel is also active in his community as a member of non-profit boards and a mentor to those who seek his leadership advice.

Daniel and his wife Sheri live in Lake Oswego, Oregon and have four wonderful children: Alexandra, Dylan, Wesley and Emily.
