My Story
I'm more than just a consultant - I'm your partner on the journey to success.
Hi, I'm Daniel Yifter Eriksson. I've been working with clearminds to and from since I was 16, which is from 1998, both as an individual company and as a limited company since 2024. I believe in creating a relaxed, collaborative environment where ideas can flourish and real solutions emerge.
By day, I work as a IT Infrastructure System Engineer at a bank that specializes in trading and savings solutions. clearminds is my passion project - a side hustle that allows me to share my expertise with businesses and startups that can benefit from my technical knowledge and problem-solving approach.
My approach is refreshingly simple: I listen, I understand, and I collaborate. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or rigid methodologies. Instead, I work closely with you to develop strategies that feel right for your unique situation. It's a relaxed, human-centered process built on trust and open communication.
Whether you're a startup finding your feet or an established business looking for fresh perspectives, I'm here to help you navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.
