Daniel Shaw

Daniel Shaw is the co-founder and CEO of Autumn, a New York-based end-of-life marketplace built to help bereaved families navigate the legal, financial, emotional and logistical mess that follows a death. A medical school dropout turned 15-year creative technologist (Director of Digital Accounts at Wieden+Kennedy), Shaw lost a string of close family members over a decade and was appalled by how disorganized and unhelpful the deathcare industry was. So he aggregated more than 500,000 local providers, wrote free guides, and set out to let people manage death the same way they manage life - under the banner 'We make loss more livable.'
