Who is Daniel Ishag?

Daniel Ishag is the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Bluewater Bio, who specialize in the treatment of water and wastewater.

Ishag was the vision and drive behind Espotting. In 2000, at the age of 26 and in the middle of the dotcom bust, Ishag, along with his school friend Seb Bishop, launched one of the most successful internet companies. The award-winning Espotting was picked up by the Financial Times as one of their Top 50 Creative Businesses. In February 2004, Espotting announced its merger with NASDAQ which valued Espotting at $170m. Ishag was finalist in both the European Technology Forum's Technology Entrepreneur of the year in 2001, and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2003 and 2004.

Ishag brought to the European market a new concept in online advertising - paid for listings, which now accounts for 82% of total online media spend. In just 4 years Espotting had grown into a 240 employee pan-European company that operated in 8 languages, 5 currencies, and serviced 23,000 clients.
