About Daniel Leib
In a January 2025 interview, Daniel Leib, President and CEO of Donnelley Financial Solutions (DFIN), described the company as being in the "middle innings" of a client-focused transformation. He stated that the company has a strong business, client relationships, and market position, and that the transformation has been "planful and thoughtful" with the goal of becoming "institutionalized and self-sustaining." Leib said the transformation has involved changes across every function and business within the company, including a shift toward a more software-centric offering, and that the company has invested in product development and new talent. He noted that transparency has been key in helping employees adapt, including reskilling and helping displaced employees find new jobs. Leib also discussed the company's approach to partnerships, stating that they need to be "bilateral and mutually beneficial" and that DFIN has done this "very well." He said the company has become more "quantified and metrics-based" in measuring success across employees, clients, and shareholders, citing winning workplace awards and delivering above-peer returns. When asked about the end of the transformation, Leib said he hopes "the end is never here," adding that the opportunities ahead exceed what has already been achieved and that the company will continue to look forward to a "much brighter future."
