Daniel Resnick

Partner, KPMG Canada - Deals Advisory

Daniel Resnick is a Partner in KPMG Canada's Deal Advisory practice, leading revenue and growth-focused M&A work across banking, insurance, manufacturing, retail, energy, and infrastructure, with nearly two decades of consulting experience advising pension funds, private equity firms, and corporate clients through every stage of the deal cycle. Before his current role, he built his career through KPMG's Customer Strategy practice and time at Scotiabank, developing a leadership style rooted in empathy, trust, and empowering the people around him rather than commanding from the top. Beyond the boardroom, Dan has faced and overcome cancer twice, an experience that's reshaped how he thinks about mindset, resilience, and what actually constitutes a good life. On Decoding Wisdom, Dan speaks with real candour about early imposter syndrome in consulting, the lessons he's drawn from parenting and coaching youth sports, navigating a demanding career alongside family and personal wellbeing, and the perspective on post-traumatic growth that only comes from surviving what he's survived - a conversation between mentor and mentee that goes well beyond the usual corporate playbook.
