Dan Stoller Bio

Dan has spent more than 30 years at the nexus of emerging technologies and market development, building new markets and ecosystems in digital media, broadband, energy, and digital healthcare. A co-founder of four tech start-up companies, Dan combines his entrepreneurial experience with his 16 years at Time Warner where he led corporate strategy and long-range technology planning at Time Warner Cable.

Most recently, in response to the pandemic, Dan co-founded Bindle Systems, the largest private self-sovereign identity network in the United States. The company’s mission is to give people 100% control of their personal information, and to fundamentally change the way data on the internet is stored, managed, and shared. Bindle’s first application is a COVID-19 health credential platform that provides access to shared spaces such as live events, workplaces, and universities. To date, Bindle’s health pass, used by 100s of venues (i.e. The Kennedy Center, Dartmouth College, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, IMP’s 9:30 Club, San Diego State University) and hundreds of thousands of individuals, has helped enable tens of millions of dollars in economic value that otherwise would have been lost by venues and artists during the pandemic.

Prior to Bindle, Dan co-founded Gridmetrics. Incubated at CableLabs, the leading R&D lab of the cable industry, Gridmetrics leverages existing broadband infrastructure to measure and monitor the distribution portion of the power grid. Gridmetrics provides an unmatched observational view of the state of power in the “last mile.” Dan was responsible for developing the market position, business strategy and partnerships.

From 2006 to 2016, Dan served as Group Vice President, Corporate Strategy at Time Warner Cable where he headed a team that analyzed and advised on the key business, technical, competitive, and policy issues driving the evolution of broadband. Dan’s team led the long range technology planning for the Company which covered vital bandwidth growth forecasts and spectrum allocation strategies. The team also developed and managed the TWC “Greenlight” process that ultimately deployed billions in capital for technology, infrastructure, and new products. Time Warner Cable was acquired by Charter Communications in 2016.

Prior to Time Warner Cable, Dan was Vice President of Time Warner Global Marketing, where he developed new business opportunities around emerging technologies, and worked with Time Warner’s many properties such as AOL, CNN, Warner Brothers, Time Inc, and more. In addition, Dan spearheaded Time Warner’s ADLab, an initiative focused on driving innovation in advertising. He also served on the advisory board at MIT Media Lab’s SIMPLICITY consortium and as Director of Market Research for AOL Time Warner’s Local Partnership Group.

Already a serial entrepreneur before joining Time Warner, Dan played a key role in the earliest days of the online advertising industry, helping to define what it was and how it should operate. He helped launch online businesses including Internet Appliance Network, the first company to offer a free device that allowed anyone to connect to the internet, thus leveling the playing field for consumer web access (unfortunately, at least a decade ahead of its time!). Dan also served as an executive at SiteSpecific, a leading interactive advertising agency of the day, that was acquired by public marketing agency CKS Group. At the very start of his career, Dan was instrumental in building Anderson & Lembke’s online media practice, developing marketing strategies for Microsoft’s first Internet properties (Expedia, CarPoint, Sidewalk, and MSN).

He resides in Bedford, New York with his wife, Amy Oringel, and two daughters. Dan is a graduate of Cornell University.
