Leadership, like summiting a mountain, requires vision, endurance, and the courage to navigate uncertain terrain. Whether guiding billion-dollar federal programs or standing atop peaks, I bring strategy, resilience, and human-centered insight to every challenge.
DANA PLATIN
As a bilingual executive with 25+ years across government, international development, and nonprofit sectors, I specialize in transformational leadership at both the personal and organizational levels. Drawing from high-stakes program leadership, endurance athletics, and adventure, I guide leaders to reach their summit with resilience, perspective, and impact, turning challenges into opportunities for growth, transformation, and lasting success, skills as essential in the boardroom as on the trail.
