Pathway to Success: Dan Harrington-Greenwood

In this instalment of our Pathway to Success series, Clare Wilkinson (In-House Legal, Danos Group) sits down with Dan Harrington-Greenwood, Deputy Group General Counsel at Catalina Re, for a straight-talking look at what it takes to build a resilient In-House Legal career.

Dan walks through the realities of developing a senior legal career — the highs, the setbacks, the judgement calls and the pressure points — that have shaped his journey from Private Practice to a senior leadership role within a private-equity-backed reinsurance group.

Topics covered:

• What makes the In-House role genuinely rewarding
• Career setbacks (and why they matter)
• The decision that changed his trajectory
• Strengths, weaknesses and how to navigate both
• Practical career advice for aspiring In-House counsel

A firm thanks to Dan for his candour and insight. If you’re hiring senior In-House Legal talent — or benchmarking the market — contact Clare Wilkinson at cwilkinson@thedanosgroup.com.
