“Dan Oltersdorf is a gifted speaker with an innate ability to keep his audience completely engaged throughout any length of presentation. In addition to his perfect mixture of humor and meaning, his presentation content and format is particularly creative.”
Sometimes the right way to help is from the outside.
My primary focus is the right executive leadership assignment. I’m also open to select advisory, workshop and speaking work where 25+ years of operating experience can create immediate value.
Specific problems where I’ve already done the work.
Strategic outsourcing & offshoring
Designing HR and accounting shared-services models informed by the way I built and led Centricity.
Higher education partnerships
Connecting institutions and private operators around shared priorities, student outcomes and experience.
Student housing operations
Operating models built with resident experience and business performance as reinforcing outcomes.
Keynotes & workshops
Leadership, culture, human experience and the practical use of technology to make work better.
I like a room with real people in it.





“Dan is a competent and solid authority in the student housing market. I have heard him speak twice at national multifamily conventions and his approach is highly educational and actionable. His time management and communication skills are exceptional.”
Let’s see if I’m useful.
If I’m the right person to help, great. If I’m not, I’ll tell you that too.
