Daniel Custódio

In 2017, Daniel became the first and only Lean Gold Certified professional in non-manufacturing (one of eight total) as recognized by the Shingo Institute, SME, and AME (the gold standard for Lean certification). To receive it, Daniel had to demonstrate mastery of his craft by transforming several organizations at the enterprise level, from the C-suite to the frontlines.

That same year, Daniel began Gold Sensei to introduce clients to a purer version of Lean that aligned more closely with the core principles presented by Taiichi Ohno. In his experience, he had to clean up behind too many consultants who solely introduced clients to Lean tools without teaching the principles.

Daniel has a B.A. in mathematics from Hamilton College, an M.B.A. from the Kellogg School of Management, and continuing education with an emphasis on Enterprise Transformation from M.I.T.
