Daniel Pruce's life changed when epilepsy appeared. In a diplomatic environment, authencity is a must and, as such, acceptance of this new condition is a journey that must be made.

As Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy Madrid, Daniel is responsible for the effective operation of the Embassy and deputising for the Ambassador in his absence. The Embassy and Network has a total of 233 staff. It includes the busiest consular operation in the world, a UKBA visa section and very active UKTI commercial section.

Previously he was Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy in Bangkok since August 2008.

Before that he worked in the Europe Directorate of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in London, heading the department that dealt with internal EU issues, including economic reform and the EU's institutions. He was also responsible for strategic communications on the EU, including the Lisbon Treaty.

From 2004 until 2005 Daniel was the Programme Director of the FCO's change programme (the "Organisation Project"). This included restructuring the FCO in London and overseas.

Daniel was seconded to the Prime Minister's Press Office in 10 Downing Street from 2002 to 2004, responsible for briefing journalists on foreign, defence and development issues and accompanying the then Prime Minister Tony Blair on his visits overseas.

He has twice worked in the UK's Permanent Representation to the EU in Brussels. First dealing with the closing stages of the GATT Uruguay Round negotiations (1993-1996), then as British Spokesman on EU issues from 1999 to 2001.

Daniel was seconded to NATO HQ during the Kosovo crisis in 1999. During this period Daniel also spent time in Macedonia, working with the NATO communications team.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
