“Dan came in to lead the APA foundation with passion to apply his business expertise to advance mental health. He took the time to learn about each program area and build relationships with diverse stakeholders invested in each space, including leaders from business, education, criminal justice and philanthropic communities. He brought considerable value by helping to assess critical areas of strategic gaps and opportunities and partnered with staff to develop plans to improve operational performance and raise visibility for the foundation. The APA is lucky to have him leading their foundation!”
