About Danny & Mohios

Danny Holtschke - Founder & Chief AI Coach

Danny Holtschke — Founder & Chief AI Coach

German-born engineer, ex-Silicon Valley founder, and long-time Agile/Product leader now calling Auckland home. For 15 years he's helped startups and enterprises ship faster, think clearer, and work smarter—guiding teams at Commerzbank, Rocket Internet, and dozens of high-growth founders.

But spreadsheets and sprints were never the whole story. Two Vipassana retreats, 3 Burning Mans, and a move to New Zealand rewired Danny's worldview: human wisdom first, tech as the amplifier. That philosophy became Mohios.

Why coaches trust Danny

  • Built → Scaled → Exited a SaaS startup (so he speaks your entrepreneurial language).
  • Certified Scrum & Agile Coach—trained over 400 leaders on lean, systems thinking, and GTD.
  • AI workflow architect behind content engines that publish 1,000+ posts/month with no extra head-count.
  • Combines German engineering rigor with Kiwi creativity and a calm, heart-centered coaching style.

What "Mohios" means

Mōhio is Māori for wisdom, clarity, deep understanding. Add an "s" and you get an operating system—a nod to the AI automations that run beneath the surface while your human insight shines.

Mission: Fuse cutting-edge AI with timeless coaching presence so solopreneur coaches 10× their impact without 10× their hours.

"Technology should feel like an invisible partner—quietly handling the busywork while you do the life-changing work."
— Danny Holtschke, Founder of Mohios
