Dana Adams's Linkedin Analytics

I'm a growth leader and partnership builder with deep experience in sales, business development, marketing, and client relationship management in engaging with Fortune 1000 enterprises. I've led as an individual contributor, senior function head, and executive to build and grow capabilities at start-ups and large enterprises. With that, I bring diverse operational skills rooted in a growth mindset to collaborate with teams, partners, and customers to create strong business outcomes. I grow businesses as a servant leader - making teams better, elevating thinking, and empowering actions that produce outstanding results in growth. On the personal front, in January 2024 I met the challenge of a lifetime and gave the gift of life by donating 70% of my liver as a Living Liver Donor at Yale New Haven Hospital. For me, it was the opportunity to be part of an amazing team that gave a healthy life back to a very sick individual - at first a stranger and now a friend. Giving and service is what drives me in my personal life. I’m experienced in entrepreneurial builds and delivering marketing services and programs - content marketing, CRM, CX, direct, and digital - across B2B, B2C, and B2E. I've worked with some of the biggest, most complex financial services, retail, CPG, tech, energy, and travel & and leisure companies in creating successful marketing programs with my teams. Mine has been a journey of stretching into challenging environments - from teaching public school as a new college graduate in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, to helping grow a successful communications startup in Boston through to acquisition by McGraw Hill, to contributing to marketing services launches at Time Inc, Hearst/Dow Jones, and Meredith Corporation, to business transformation at an award-winning agency in North Carolina, while leading in a major turnaround at Harte Hanks in the Marketing Services unit. Whether a group executive or an individual contributor, I strive to be an empathetic and inclusive leader who engages and inspires high-performing teams that collaborate effectively. I seek big (and messy) challenges, mission, and purpose-driven growth toward good for people, businesses, and the world. I show up to drive growth and business impact in every respect. I do this through inspired commitment and relationships with colleagues, partners, and clients. I continuously develop business opportunities, while bringing a “long-game” partnership vision and focused operational leadership to the work. I am a Servant Leadership and Extreme Ownership practitioner.
