Summary
Dan Brown's career has taken him from accounting to law school, through the halls of the federal government following 9/11, and ultimately to leading one of the world's largest immigration compliance technology businesses. In this episode, Dan shares how an unexpected start in immigration law shaped his career, what he learned working at the Department of Homeland Security and ICE during a pivotal moment in U.S. history, and how those experiences prepared him to become CEO of Fragomen WorkRight. He also discusses the growing importance of I-9 compliance, the future of electronic verification systems, common mistakes employers make, and why building relationships early in your career can open doors you never expected.
