Dana is a member of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists City Livery Company and an annual attendee of the TED main conference in Vancouver. His education includes a Doctor of Jurisprudence (law degree) as well as an M.B.A. and B.B.A in business.
His philosophy revolves around people do things for people and the team knows what needs to be done: If leaders are looking to set the groundwork to make magic happen, they need to empower individuals and teams by communicating and, more importantly, giving the team a voice and a forum to be heard. And secondly, leaders are the kind of person that people do things for by providing inspiration, and environment for ideas, innovation, creativity and achieving results in a way that is fun and rewarding!
