NEW YORK, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Veracity Worldwide, a leading business intelligence and strategic advisory firm, has appointed Daniel Crocker as its new Chief Executive Officer. Daniel brings over 20 years of experience in Washington, Europe, and Latin America as a senior diplomat for the U.S. Department of Commerce. His experience at formulating and delivering client-focused solutions while leading a globally dispersed and diverse team will both benefit Veracity clients and help to raise the firm's profile as a global leader in the political and other strategic risks advisory space.

Veracity's founder and current CEO, Steven Fox, assumes the role of Executive Chairman and will continue to manage key client relationships, provide strategic advice in complex disputes, and offer the full benefit of his experience, leadership and guidance.

Daniel's experience strengthens Veracity's capacity to provide critical intelligence and advice on these and other issues as we enter the post-Covid 19 world," said Fox.

While at Commerce, Daniel served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Europe and Eurasia and as Executive Director for Western Hemisphere. In both capacities he led teams in both regions to promote U.S. economic security by increasing U.S. exports, removing market barriers for U.S. companies, and expanding foreign direct investment in America. He also served in diplomatic assignments in Spain, Panama, Brazil, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.

Prior to his diplomatic career, Daniel worked in engineering management positions in Accel, Sequoia, and Benchmark-funded tech startups in Silicon Valley; tier one automotive manufacturing in Virginia; and oil and gas exploration in Africa.
