In 2000, Dan launched the popular Aflac Duck advertising campaign, transforming Aflac from a successful supplemental insurance company to a top international brand.
Under Dan’s leadership, Aflac helps provide protection to millions of policyholders through subsidiaries in Japan and the U.S. by paying cash fast when policyholders get sick or injured. For nearly seven decades, insurance policies of Aflac Incorporated's subsidiaries have given policyholders the opportunity to focus on recovery, not financial stress. In Japan, Aflac is the leading provider of medical and cancer insurance. In the U.S., Aflac is the number one provider of supplemental health insurance products.2
Aflac has been recognized by FORTUNE magazine as one of the World’s Most Admired Companies for 24 years. Dan’s commitment to ethical business practices has led the Ethisphere Institute to recognize Aflac Incorporated as a World's Most Ethical Company for 19 consecutive years, making Aflac the only insurance company in the world to appear on this list every year since the inception of the award in 2007.

In 1995, Dan and Kathelen Amos were inspired to spearhead Aflac’s commitment to supporting children diagnosed with cancer, along with their families. Since then, the company, its employees and independent sales force have raised more than $190 million to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, nationally renowned as one of the leading childhood cancer, hematology, and blood and marrow transplant programs in the United States. U.S. News and World Report has recognized the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center as one of the top pediatric cancer programs in the United States, also treating other rare blood disorders, including sickle cell disease.
Dan has been a driving force behind the introduction of My Special Aflac Duck®, the company’s social robot that uses medical play, lifelike movement and emotions to engage and help comfort children during their cancer care and most recently, sickle cell disease treatment. My Special Aflac Duck received TIME magazine’s recognition as one of 2018’s “Best Inventions;” the Consumer Electronics Show’s award as “Best in Show;” and SXSW’s People’s Choice award in the “Robotics and Hardware” category. The company has provided more than 34,000 of these robotic companions, free of charge, to children three and older in the U.S., Japan and Northern Ireland diagnosed with pediatric cancer or sickle cell disease. In Japan, Dan also spearheaded the establishment of the Aflac Parents House, with two locations in Tokyo and one in Osaka that have helped more than 150,000 children and their families who are facing cancer and other diseases.
In 2013, Dan proudly accepted the Salute to Greatness Award from the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Atlanta, joining a distinguished list of past recipients, including Ambassador Andrew J. Young, U.S. Poet Laureate Maya Angelou, Ervin "Magic" Johnson, and musicians Bono and Stevie Wonder. He has also received the Anti-Defamation League's Torch of Liberty Award. In 2023, Dan was inducted by the Georgia Historical Society and the Office of Governor as a Georgia Trustee for exemplifying the highest standard of “Not for Self, but for Others” in his life and career. He is a former member of the board of trustees of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, is chairman emeritus of the board of the Japan-America Society of Georgia and chairman emeritus of the University of Georgia Foundation.
Dan joined Aflac in his teens, working summers. After graduating from college with a degree in insurance and risk management, he joined the sales area, working for commissions. Under Dan’s leadership, his sales territory, Alabama/West Florida, was the number-one-producing area in 1981 and 1982. In 1983, he was named president of Aflac and was later promoted to chief operating officer in 1987. Dan became chief executive officer of Aflac Incorporated in 1990 and chairman of the board of directors in 2001.
