About Me
Experience at the Front Lines of Growth
A front row seat of 200+ startup teams—now on your side.
Daneal Charney had a front-row seat to Canada’s most ambitious high-growth technology companies especially in her role as Executive in Residence at MaRS. She worked hands-on with hundreds of B2B SaaS companies—from seed stage to exit—helping founders and leadership teams navigate the real challenges of scaling: people, performance, and leadership.
Before MaRS, Daneal built her career inside both multinational organizations (Intel Corp.,China Division; Aviva Canada/U.K.) and high-growth technology companies including NexJ Systems, WireIE, and Muse. That mix of operator and advisor experience allows her to translate theory into practical action—fast.
Today, Daneal works directly with founders, executives, and high-potential leaders to build the habits, systems, and leadership capability required to scale.
She is a Top 25 Human Resources Award winner and was named Best Service Provider in the SME Category by KMI Media.
Daneal is also a regular contributor to The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, and HR Reporter, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and Conflict Resolution Coach, and has designed and delivered leadership programs for institutions including Western University, University of Waterloo, and Schulich Executive Education —co-creating Schulich’s Certificate in Coaching & Mentoring.
