About Danielle Tope

My passion as a scholar-practitioner is summarized well by a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: “Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Whether leading, teaching, consulting, or volunteering, I am driven by the prospect of helping those around me reach self-actualization. There is nothing better than seeing people live up to their full potential and in their passion.I am a value-adding business partner-researcher with over 15 years of experience developing data-driven, actionable strategies for improving the employee workplace experience while simultaneously achieving key organizational performance objectives. Proven transformational change agent and thought leader through organizational renewal, acquisitions, divestitures, organic growth, and contract expansions across a wide spectrum of industries.
