With the launching of AKCEL Partners, she challenged the preservation of old organizational structures and, instead, offered outsourced sales talent with a wealth of targeted experience, determined by the exact needs of the client.
Dina brings unique experience particularly to international brands whose desire is to break into the American market and build a business with the world’s most powerful consumer.
Dina earned her BA from Colgate University, her MBA from Duke University and her Masters in Sustainability from Harvard University.
