Meet Dana

The Strategist Behind the Strategy

I'm Dana Newell — fractional CMO & COO, and the person organizations call when marketing and operations aren't working together the way they should.

For more than 30 years, I've worked at the intersection of marketing strategy and operational execution — across healthcare, healthtech, medtech, SaaS, life sciences, and edtech. My clients aren't looking for more campaigns. They're looking for clarity, alignment, and growth that actually holds.

"I don't just build campaigns — I help companies fix the systems and alignment issues that are quietly killing their growth."
