I have been acquainted with Dan Castilleja for a number of years.  I have experience with him as a business owner, a manager, and a community volunteer.  My experience has shown Dan to be a successful business executive, a highly effective manager and a tireless volunteer.  He understands economic development from the business owner perspective as well as the community perspective.  He has a great work ethic and unquestioned integrity.

I have known Dan for years and have seen him engage both his business as a professional, and our community as a volunteer in different capacities.  Further, his leadership and expertise have been recognized by the Governor through his recent appointment to the State Economic Development Commission.  I believe one of Dan's strengths, among others, is his eclectic background that cuts across business and industry sectors.  Equally, his geographic diversity enhances his perspectives and range of connections.  He is a team-focused leader with a competitive spirit--in all the correct senses of that leadership quality.

Dan Castilleja and I have worked together on construction projects at challenging remote locations in New Mexico, California and Hawaii. These projects required extensive pre-planning, logistics and teamwork to control costs and maintain schedules. I trust Dan to not only do his part, but go beyond and anticipate the needs of others from project planning to project close out. Our work with private companies, universities, and high security government agencies all required a vast array of skill sets. Dan managed each of them seamlessly and professionally. My confidence and trust in Dan is above reproach. He is a man of his word and proves it in his work ethic.

Dan is skilled in all aspects of running a business. Any project or team with Dan involved, greatly increases its chance of success.

Dan Castilleja is my dream client.

Smart, decisive, fearless, funny, kind, ethical and just plain visionary.

If I had more clients like Dan (the kind that are good at what they do and let you be good at what you do), I’d have even more advertising awards.

Yup, Dan is that kind of leader.

The kind that makes you want to do great work.

Having known Dan for 40 years I can attest to his loyalty and trustworthiness. He is dependable and always willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish the task at hand while simultaneously keeping his eye on the big picture.  His ability to quickly assess a situation and determine the proper course of action is especially commendable. If I was starting a business he’d be the first person I call.

I've written advertising campaigns for Dan for years.

But if I had to write few short sentences about him I'd say, simply: Best. Client. Ever.

I have known Dan for almost 40 years now and have admired his accomplishments with a wide range of business ventures. Dan never shies away from a challenge and I've known him to be a straight- shooter who is not afraid to ask questions and learn what he needs to know to succeed.  He is a great businessman, problem-solver and friend. I would unhesitatingly recommend Dan as a consultant or for any other opportunity he feels qualified to pursue.

Dan Castilleja has unique manufacturing and managerial skills uncommon to homegrown NM businesses.  Dan has demonstrated keen business acumen working with skilled and semi-skilled production workers, as well as, middle managers and executives.  His business experience includes working with Federal, State and Local Regulatory agencies in multiple states and the companies he has co-owned and operated have shipped product to customers throughout the US and around the world.  Dan has successfully relocated a manufacturing company across multiple state lines and is a seasoned veteran of supply chain and cash management.  Having worked with Dan for over 20 years, it is hard for me to imagine an organization in need of these skills for which Dan would not be a good fit.

As CEO of investUS llc, I know Dan professionally.  I have recommended him to management teams seeking a CEO or COO  because of his abilities, experience and connections necessary to make any company successful. He has a unique awareness of the relationships required to take a concept and turn into a profitable business , yet he also has the ability to turn the crank on a cash cow and run an established company . He works smart to achieve the goals of the company while still keeping the employees and customers as a main focus. Dan moves easily among community leaders , state and city officials in order to get things done.
