Daniel S. has a diverse work experience spanning over two decades. Daniel started their career in 2000 as a Captain in the British Army, where they served until 2014. In 2005, they worked as a Traders Assistant at Morgan Stanley for a few months. During the same year, they joined QinetiQ as a Soldier Systems Analyst, focusing on Zephyr UAV systems.
In 2010, Daniel became the CEO of Archangel Aerospace Ltd, a specialist consultancy working on advanced unmanned systems. Daniel played a significant role in the development of Archangel Imaging and Archangel Lightworks, two companies that originated from Archangel Aerospace.
In 2016, Daniel took on the role of CEO at Archangel Imaging, where they led the development of AI solutions for the edge of the network in sectors such as Oil & Gas, wildlife protection, and security. Daniel became the President of Archangel Lightworks in 2017.
Currently, Daniel is the Chief Executive Officer of Archangel Imaging, a position they have held since April 2020. Their responsibilities include solving problems that the cloud cannot reach and deploying AI solutions to the edge of the network.
Daniel S. started their education at the University of Oxford from 2000 to 2004, where they pursued a degree in Engineering Science with a focus on Engineering. In 2005, they attended the University of Bath and completed a Postgraduate Certificate (with a Distinction) in Management, which they studied until 2007.
After several years, in 2017, Daniel S. participated in the Space Studies Program (SSP) at the International Space University. Then, in 2019, they attended the Cambridge Judge Business School for a program called Ignite, although the specific degree received during this time is not mentioned.

Archangel Lightworks
Archangel Lightworks is a laser communications company building high-volume, secure, wireless technology to create the space-enabled networks of the future. Today, space and terrestrial networks are not well-connected leading to insecure, insufficient, and vulnerable infrastructure. Nearly 3 billion people are unconnected and many more are under-connected. Subsea cables, which form the backbone of global network infrastructure, are at risk from climate disaster and bad actors. Links between satellites, which offer an opportunity for resilient connectivity, and the ground are reliant on radio, which is bandwidth constrained, finite and not secure. Archangel Lightworks was set up to solve the space-ground connectivity problem. Wireless laser communications (lasercom) technology offers new solutions; however, adoption of the technology has been slow due to availability concerns, lack of interoperability standards, difficulties associated with lasercom on the move, and high production costs. Our tech solves these problems. We are driving down the size, weight, power & cost (SWaP-C) of optical ground equipment to make space-ground lasercom available and affordable. Our core product, TERRA-M is a miniature optical ground station which is approximately the size of a mini fridge. Compared to traditional networks such as radio, the TERRA-M allows more licence-free data transferred at low probability of detection (LPD) and low probability of interception (LPI). TERRA-M brings deployable, resilient connectivity to wherever it is needed, solving some of Earth’s most critical problems from economic inclusion to climate change. Archangel Lightworks is based in Oxford, UK and Archangel Lightworks USA is based in Orlando, Florida.
