Danielle Schmutz
Director of Operations
“When I want to get my creative juices flowing I spend time in the pottery studio throwing clay. I am also the perpetual paparazzi for my sweet pup, Pearl Jam.”
Danielle oversees operations at Surgo, where she focuses on internal strategy, people, and growth. She is passionate about investing in data-driven solutions that have a concrete impact on people and communities, and her training in macro-level social work has shaped her people-centered approach to leadership.
Danielle has a B.A. in sociology and child development from Central Michigan University and an M.S.W. from the University of Michigan.
