Chief Growth Officer

Dani Canubas

Experience in U.S. Immigration Services

Dani, an immigrant himself brings direct leadership experience in the U.S. immigration sector through his role as Managing Partner and Chief Growth Officer of QX International, a U.S.-based immigration and staffing company.

At QX International, Dani led the organization’s business operations, strategic growth, marketing, and client acquisition. He worked closely with immigration attorneys, case teams, and clients to scale service delivery pipelines and optimize the firm’s processes for both immigration petitions and staffing pathways.

Under his leadership, QX International experienced significant growth and operational improvements until its eventual dissolution due to the passing of his business partner, who also served as the firm’s immigration attorney.

This experience provided Dani with a deep, practical understanding of U.S. immigration workflows, client management, operational compliance, recruitment pipelines, and the business mechanics behind immigration firms—expertise he now integrates into his consulting, business development work, and partnerships with immigration law practices.

A Philosophy Shaped by Nature’s Greatest Teachers

Since childhood, Dani has found profound inspiration in one of nature’s smallest yet most extraordinary creatures—the ant. His admiration evolved into the name of his holding company, Formicidae Holdings.

To Dani, ants embody grit, discipline, unity, resilience, focus, and unwavering persistence. They move with purpose. They work as a team. They do not retreat in the face of obstacles. These values form the foundation of his leadership style and business philosophy.

Leadership & Team Building Excellence

A firm believer that great leaders begin as great followers, Dani has a natural ability to build empowered, high-performing teams. He recognizes individual strengths and cultivates cultures where people are encouraged to innovate, collaborate, and grow without fear of failure.

For Dani, success is clear:

“Great companies don’t create great people—great people create exceptional companies.”
