Our Leadership


A human, partner, parent, sister, auntie and friend, Danielle Lovell Jones is also a relationship-driven visionary with a proven track record of guiding organizations towards inclusive and equitable visions and strategies. She is a strong and compassionate leader known for her entusiastic and impactful guidance and ferocious commitment to a future that is bright for all people and particularly for those who have been historically marginalized. she has driven initiatives moving nearly $100 million and excels at community and stakeholder engagement. In founding Lovell Strategies, Danielle established participatory design models, drawing inspiration from her maternal family's immigrant journey. Lovell Strategies embodies the lessons learned from her family — the power of investing in people, saying the necessary things to propel conversations, and inspiring individuals to be their best selves.

Not only is she a vibrant Miami Native with Trinidadian and Panamanian roots, she is also an Enneagram 4 and a proud Crimson Hoya with a Juris Doctorate from Georgetown Law and a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard University. 

When she’s not talking with cool people to get powerful solutions, she’s hanging with her husband, watching Bluey with her kiddos, salsa dancing with friends (far less than she’d like) and listening to Soca music.
