In her new role, Dana will lean into her experience of creating operational efficiencies and streamlining processes. Her strategic direction will encompass Pegasus’ overall mission, vision, and strategy, with an intense focus on pinpoint marketing and asset value optimization.
“In my first 90 days, it will be imperative to meet with all departments within Pegasus and our clients to determine our top priorities and strategically address pain points,” Dana added. “Working alongside our team members to ensure they have the support and proper processes in place will be crucial. We will focus on the 5 R’s – Revenue, Reputation, Recruitment, Retention, and Relationships – to create value for our residents and clients.”
Dana’s passion for people, mentoring, and leading high-producing teams makes her an excellent fit for Pegasus Residential. She is committed to fostering a culture where team members are inspired to generate great ideas and believe in themselves and the company’s vision.
When Dana is not working, she enjoys various outdoor activities and spending time with her family. She is an avid soccer mom, supporting her 15-year-old son’s travel soccer team, and enjoys attending concerts and artistic outings with her 17-year-old daughter. Her family, including her husband of 19 years, loves all things ocean-related, including boating and snorkeling. Additionally, Dana is a dedicated animal advocate, working with multiple charities to ensure the proper homing and healthcare of stray or abandoned animals.
