Dan Veksler

Quite a few years ago, we worked with a client which we had an excellent and strong working relationship with for well over a decade up to this point. Then we began working in conjunction with a consultant the client had brought in to work on the Demandware eCommerce software they used, named Dan Veksler. We routinely worked with him on a variety of projects at this one single client we had in common at that point in time. After seeing the comprehensive skills and experience our development team had, Dan wanted to pursue further Demandware projects with our team. Thus, we began good faith talks with him to see if there was mutual interest in further discovery.

During that time, we worked through a variety of issues, and Dan wrote up his own Bio which is shown below. The Bio and photo you see below, he created and posted it here himself. After a few months of continueing this exploration process, we decided we were not going to continue forward with a relationship with Dan Veksler. So imagine our surprise when we discover that Dan is operating a new company where he implies there is some existing relationship with us. How is this possible? He slightly modifies our very unique name by calling himself, XCENT Group, and apparently uses this to help market his personal consulting business as having some larger affiliation with our company. We start receiving notifications of non-existant employees that are foreign nationals. None of these people have any affiliation with XCENT at all. Dan Veksler is not affiliated with XCENT in any way, shape, or form.

What do you think this type of conduct says about a person? Dan, when you see this for yourself, what do you think the honorable and honest thing to do will be? We'll be glad to give you an original idea. Maybe you should consider developing your own name, brand, and identity.

Dan commands deep technology skills combined with the forward looking focus necessary to successfully guide an IT organization through the fast paced ever changing world of ecommerce technology solutions. His 15+ years of IT and management experience in various environments make him a valuable asset to any organization. His latest focus for the last 7 years has resulted in an extensive concentration in the Demandware market space.

Dan has provided technical consulting services in the Demandware industry and has played key roles in that sector. Being a Demandware Certified Architect, he architected and developed solutions for some of the biggest clients in, including customers such as Warner Brothers, Fila, Fredericks of Hollywood, Urban Decay, Debshops, Lucy, Brooks Running’s and many more. Dan was an integral part in architecting and implementing the new Demandware Site Genesis 2.0 reference application. Post implementation, he led the knowledge transition sessions to the Demandware internal Client Services team.

With a focus on results driven methodologies and management techniques, Dan has worked with several Fortune 500 Companies including BP/Amoco and GE Capital (Montgomery Ward). He was frequently tasked with performing both deep technical and leadership roles across the organizations. His valuable knowledge in software development and leadership abilities allowed him to successfully guide and oversee projects from senior level.

Dan’s strong financial background resulted in his involvement in the Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE). Dan’s unique ability to understand and bridge the needs between the technical and business (Trading environment) aspects of a financial organization resulted in his working for TFM Trading (acquired by Goldman Sachs). This fast paced environment allowed Dan to leverage his skills to deal with the obstacles of the everyday work environment, sharpening his ability to process information quickly and make informed and timely decisions. The result of Dan’s successful leadership can be found in the CBOE today, as some of those very applications are still in use.
