Daniel Podor

Daniel Podor grew up in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, where a strong sense of community and personal ambition shaped his early years. As a young athlete, he dedicated himself to soccer, sprinting, and distance running. These sports taught him discipline, resilience, and teamwork, which continue to guide him in his personal and professional life.

Daniel began his college education at Rollins College before completing his degree in business at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His commitment to learning led him to earn an MBA from the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, with a focus on entrepreneurship and leadership. For him, learning has always been more than a goal—it is a way of life. He is an enthusiastic reader and collects books about American history and the heritage of Cleveland.

In his professional career, Daniel has worked in cardiovascular medical device sales, collaborating with both startups and large companies. He is respected for his strategic thinking and ability to strike a balance between structure and innovation. Beyond his corporate work, he founded a marketing agency specializing in electric vehicle charging and a consulting practice focused on sales strategy and marketing. These ventures reflect his interest in sustainability, progress, and supporting others.

Family is a central priority for him. Daniel lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with his wife, two daughters, and son. He values time with them, especially reading together and encouraging their interests. His passion for endurance sports has led him to participate in several 5Ks and half-marathons, which he views as opportunities to stay healthy and motivated.

He also gives back to causes important to him, including regular support for the American Heart Association and volunteering with a homeless program through his church. In his spare time, he follows soccer, cheers for Cleveland’s teams, and enjoys both classic and modern literature.

Daniel Podor continues to focus on meaningful work, caring for his family, and staying committed to learning and service with steady purpose.
