Daniel is passionate about creating social impact and championing the underdogs. He left his corporate career in the travel & hospitality industry to found a social enterprise called Food Playground in 2012, and now spends most of his time cooking up new recipes and food programmes with like-minded foodies in the kitchen.

Through Food Playground, Daniel has inspired many stay-at-home mothers to return to the workforce by providing them with flexi-work arrangements and opportunities to regain their confidence and discover their hidden talents. The unfortunate reality is that many stay-at-home mothers and active seniors face overwhelming obstacles in finding meaningful work because of their need for flexi-work arrangements. Daniel firmly believes that this group of women has so much to offer and contribute, which is why every single employee in Food Playground is either a stay-at-home mother or an active senior.

Against all odds, Food Playground's cultural cooking classes and team-building workshops have won numerous industry accolades and are consistently rated Number 1 on Tripadvisor. Nothing gives Daniel more happiness and pride than to see his group of underdogs overcome overwhelming odds to defeat the Goliaths of their industry.
