Daniel is passionate about utilising Spurs’ breathtaking new stadium as a spark in the regeneration of the North Tottenham locality. It has become a “go-to” destination beyond football and has hosted events such as NFL, concerts, boxing and rugby. In 2023, Beyonce performed at the stadium which was recorded as the highest-grossing engagement ever by a woman, a Black artist, or any American artist. The stadium has also been chosen as a host for UEFA EURO 2028.

Daniel has gained plaudits as a purveyor of sustainability, ensuring the club lives within its means, and is regularly involved in promoting governing issues related to the Premier League, including those related to the long-term sustainability of its clubs. Spurs has been ranked the Premier League’s “greenest club” four years running.
