In his over 20 years of experience in the public and non-profit sectors, Daniele's work is guided by one core value-to work in and with community across all sectors to create positive change.
As CEO of United Way York Region, he played a pivotal role in the merger of United Ways across Toronto and York Region in 2015. Under his leadership, the organization continues to apply an increasingly regional lens - in 2018, joining with Peel Region to form United Way Greater Toronto, the largest United Way in the world and largest funder of social services outside of government.
This scaled-up approach is improving opportunities for donors, volunteers, and partners across Peel, Toronto and York Region, and building capacity to expand local investments.
Daniele holds a Masters in Social Work from the University of Toronto and sits on advisory committees and boards across the region.
