I believe that opportunity doesn’t just happen. It’s designed. That’s why I focus on activating communities, cultivating tech talent, and building connective infrastructure that turns vision into velocity.\n\nMy journey spans founding multiple companies including scaling a venture-backed startup to $33M in funding and helping grow it to a $100M business. I’ve also spent 15 years in the Moving & Relocation industry, which gave me a unique lens on talent migration patterns and the infrastructure needed to build resilient, people-first startup communities.\n\nLike many founders, I’ve experienced both the highs of scaling and the lows of setback. That reinvention shaped my sharper mission: helping founders grow and give back.\n\n⚡️ I lead Tech Talent Summits that connect employers, educators, and jobseekers\n🌍 I support global delegations and help founders expand across borders\n🧭 I advise founders on story, capital, and strategy with a human-first, results-driven approach\n\nWhether I’m building public-private partnerships, launching a new venture, or guiding a founder through their next chapter, I care about building with legacy, community, and courage.\n\nLet’s co-create what’s next!\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/c13f9407-a47f-47e6-a5de-dbffb514733d/","alt":"Daniela Santangelo","width":1200,"height":630},"stack":{"id":"8ed39746-a2cc-4469-aa5a-e9e0304b3c0a","title":"Our Speakers","url":"https://stacklist.com/stack/8ed39746-a2cc-4469-aa5a-e9e0304b3c0a"},"created_at":"2026-03-17T02:04:37.528Z","updated_at":null,"aco":null,"_links":{"self":"/api/public/card/caadf9c2-ee6f-45d2-8853-58cfeb787762.json","html":"https://stacklist.com/card/caadf9c2-ee6f-45d2-8853-58cfeb787762","md":"/api/public/card/caadf9c2-ee6f-45d2-8853-58cfeb787762.md","stack_json":"/api/public/stack/8ed39746-a2cc-4469-aa5a-e9e0304b3c0a.json"}}
