Direct. Advise. Operate. Create. Produce. Innovate. Study. Strategic business development.
Dana has had her fingers in many pies. She has been a lifelong consultant across multiple verticals as a systems thinker, forming partnerships and advising on funding, acquisitions, mergers, and roll-ups. Through it all she has been exposed to multiple industries and technologies, and to a cohort of academics, futurists, practitioners, engineers, and technologists who help her track global trends and keep a pulse on what is happening in the world.
Dana works as an idea machine, she gets to the underlying issue quickly, and gently.
Deep-dive sessions for founders, executives, and family offices who are stuck, blocked, or facing a major inflection point, and equally for individuals who feel stuck and need to shift focus to hone their north star. Not ongoing consulting, rather a reframe, relevant connections, ideas to move forward with. Dana works intuitively as much as analytically: she helps people find the song their soul is yearning to sing and maps a plan from there. Drawing on thousands of business plans, decades in systems and risk analysis, drawing on experiences as a founder, operator and innovator along with honing critical thinking application to where you can't see.
Dana Smirin has been speaking on stages since she was sixteen. Over three and a half decades that's ranged from patient advocacy (Healthtech 2.0) to clean technology's founding conferences, from clinic operations and integrative medicine to systems change, regenerative agriculture, and planetary health. She has spoken at United Nations environmental conferences, opened the stage for Al Gore, and spoken in Norway on agricultural policy. Available for keynotes, workshops, and panels. She speaks as someone who has built the thing she's talking about, not just studied it.
