Danielle is the managing editor at D CEO, the business publication for D Magazine. There, she is responsible for overseeing the production of the magazine and technology and startup coverage. Danielle previously served as the technology reporter for the Dallas Business Journal, where she launched the then-daily newsletter Tech Flash, and also has served as a reporter for The Dallas Morning News. “It’s been incredible to see the business community increase its focus on innovation the past several years,” Danielle says. “Corporations are trying to stay ahead of disruption while startups are working to be the solution for those corporations. It’s only a matter of time before they find a way to efficiently leverage each other’s strength and bolster the region’s innovation, productivity, and national reputation.”
