Danny Timmins
I’ve always enjoyed giving back to the community and have been an active volunteer for more than 40 years with Not-for-Profit organizations, coaching kids’ sports and supporting community events. Leading Moorelands Kids is an exciting opportunity to build a community around some of our most vulnerable kids.
My day job is as MNP’s National Cyber Security & Privacy Leader and a member of the firm’s MNP Digital Team.
Moorelands Kids’ purpose resonates with me on many levels. Most important to me, it is built on the foundation that every child, regardless of their economic circumstances, has the right to succeed in life. Being able to play a part in helping kids build confidence, resiliency and the self-leadership tools that empower their future life success is a fantastic thing.
