Dan Nielsen

Co-Founder and COO of Hydra Studios

The team at Hatzimemos Libby isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and work closely with early stage founders. They have spent a significant amount of time providing strategic advice and championing our business every step of the way. The deep relationships they have brought to the table have developed into investment capital, new partnerships and industry connections that have accelerated our launch.

Originally from Arizona, Dan has spent the last 5 years of his career between San Francisco and New York City. Before founding Hydra Studios, Dan developed his operational expertise across multiple industries and roles including sales strategy and operations at Tubemogul (an advertising tech company purchased by Adobe), corporate development and acquisitions at Backcountry (an ecommerce company purchased by TSG), and working within credit derivatives at Goldman Sachs. In his free time, Dan enjoys reading, playing basketball with friends, and online gaming with his nephews on the West Coast.
