"Hi – I’m Dana Hart, a VP of Engineering at Northwestern Mutual and responsible for the end-to-end client experience. My career at Northwestern Mutual started six years ago when the company decided it was time to disrupt itself. I have been on an exciting digital transformation journey ever since and currently lead forward-thinking teams helping to shape the company’s digital future. There is never a day that is the same and there is always a new challenge to face.
Northwestern Mutual also supports my passion for sharing technology with others – participating Women in Tech groups, participating in the local tech community and inspiring young technologists through outreach events. I am passionate about building communities for women and hope to influence a more diverse pipeline for STEM careers. I enjoy being able to make a difference within Northwestern Mutual and my local community. "
"I’m passionate about helping people. Whether it’s helping customers get the best value out of technology or mentoring others to accomplish their career aspirations, I find joy in making a difference.
Over the past 18 years, I’ve led award winning globally distributed Customer Success and Technology teams. I’m passionate about delivering customer happiness and constantly raising the bar on customer experience through customer-focused team culture, automation and continuous improvements - “Just because something works doesn’t mean it can’t be improved”
In this role at NM, my team and I keep our customers (Field Advisors and Home Office Employees) informed of new technology changes, drive adoption, provide technical support and enable them to get the maximum value out of our technology. I enjoy contributing to the CX industry through keynote speeches, panels and round tables at conferences and other events.
With an MBA in Marketing and Human Resources from SDMIMD, India, I became a part of technology industry by chance and I’m happy I’m here! We lack diversity within Tech. I’m committed to moving the gender diversity needle in technology toward a 50/50 split by actively leading or championing several women in tech initiatives to elevate women and D&I.
Personally, I love traveling, adventure sports and am all about bucket lists. My husband and I along with our two teenage kids have driven coast to coast and have been to all continents except for Antarctica which we hope to visit some day!"
