Leadership, Capital & Legacy Building
For leaders, investors, and institutions navigating complexity, stewardship, and long-term value.
In a time of accelerating technological change, systemic risk, and growing societal expectations, leadership and capital are increasingly intertwined with responsibility. Decisions made today shape not only financial outcomes, but institutional credibility, social trust, and long-term value across generations.
My work sits at the intersection of leadership, capital, and stewardship. Drawing on cross-cultural wisdom traditions, modern systems thinking, and practical experience with leaders and investors, I support those who recognise that long-term value creation requires more than optimisation - it requires discernment, ethical clarity, and the ability to act responsibly within complex living systems.
This approach is designed for those who hold influence and responsibility, and who seek to align leadership, investment decisions, and legacy with enduring value.
Leadership, Capital & Stewardship
Dana Ulrike Glatz works at the intersection of leadership, capital, and long-term responsibility.
With a background in international business, change management, and impact investing, she advises wealth owners, family offices, and institutions on aligning leadership decisions and capital allocation with long-term value creation.
She brings over two decades of experience across Europe, India, and Latin America — including senior roles in global consulting, entrepreneurship in emerging markets, and the founding of impact-driven organisations and multi-stakeholder initiatives. Her work combines strategic clarity with deep cross-cultural understanding, informed by academic teaching, field-based inquiry, and direct engagement with leaders across sectors.
Today, Dana supports leaders and investors who recognise that navigating complexity, stewardship, and intergenerational value requires more than technical expertise - it requires discernment, ethical clarity, and wise leadership.
Leadership, Capital & Legacy in Practice
Core areas of work
Sessions for leaders
In times of complexity and accelerating change, leadership requires more than tools and methods. It calls for wisdom — the ability to integrate perspectives, act with ethical clarity, and make sound decisions under uncertainty.
Dana Ulrike Glatz delivers leadership trainings & coaching for leaders from family offices, foundations & companies that combine insights from global wisdom traditions with modern leadership practice and systems thinking. Drawing on her experience and background in business, advisory, coaching and non-profit work, her sessions translate timeless principles into practical leadership capabilities, supporting leaders in navigating complexity, leading change, and building resilient, values-aligned portfolios and organisations.
Legacy & Impact Guidance
For wealth owners, family offices, and foundations, legacy today is increasingly understood as the responsible stewardship of capital in service of long-term societal and ecological wellbeing.
Dana Ulrike Glatz supports the development of impact investing and philanthropy portfolios that are grounded in systems thinking and informed by Indigenous and ancestral wisdom traditions. Her work draws on long-standing relationships with Indigenous leaders and knowledge holders, as well as cross-cultural experience across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, to help capital engage with living systems respectfully and effectively.
Rather than focusing on financial optimisation, the work centres on impact integrity: clarifying purpose, defining strategic priorities, identifying credible, community-led projects, and shaping portfolios that contribute to regenerative outcomes and intergenerational value. Particular attention is given to questions of power, ownership, cultural context, and the conditions for respectful collaboration.
Dana works alongside existing financial, legal, and investment advisors, offering strategic guidance at the intersection of impact, culture, and responsibility - ensuring that capital is deployed with discernment, humility, and long-term perspective.
Mentoring Founders
Building and leading impact-driven organisations requires founders to navigate complexity, responsibility, and constant decision-making — often without a trusted space for reflection and challenge.
Dana Ulrike Glatz works as a mentor and sparring partner for impact startup founders and NGO leaders, drawing on extensive experience in entrepreneurship, management consulting, international development, and impact investing.
She draws on her background and experience in building and leading a company in India, senior roles in management consulting, training with the United Nations, and the founding and co-founding of mission-driven organisations and alliances.
The mentoring is practical, discreet, and grounded in real-world experience. It supports founders and leadership teams in strategic decision-making, organisational development, collaboration, and navigating conflict - strengthening clarity, resilience, and alignment between purpose and execution.
