Danielle Taniguchi
Executive Assistant to the CEO
& Client Operations Manager
Danielle plays a vital dual role at SoundView, combining executive-level support with leadership across client operations. As Executive Assistant to CEO Kevin Slater, she serves as a trusted right hand—coordinating priorities, managing communication, and helping advance firmwide initiatives. Her ability to anticipate needs and bring order to complexity makes her an invaluable presence at the center of the leadership team.
As Client Operations Manager, Danielle leads the team responsible for delivering seamless client service across the firm. From overseeing paperwork and reporting to streamlining workflows and mentoring support advisors, she ensures the day-to-day execution behind every client relationship is handled with care, accuracy, and efficiency. Her work directly shapes how clients experience SoundView’s values in action.
A Seattle native, Danielle lives in North Seattle with her husband and their two growing children. She brings that same sense of connection and purpose to work, balancing structure and warmth in everything she does. Outside the office, she enjoys hiking, reading novels by her favorite authors, and baking sourdough breads and pastries (her passion for butter is well-known around here).
Whether supporting the CEO or guiding her team, Danielle is driven by a desire to serve with excellence, lead thoughtfully, and make every detail count.
