DONNA HAZEN
Enterprise Innovation & Design Leader
Leading Strategy, Experience, and People
I’m a strategic design leader with a creative core, where storytelling meets the work of building products, platforms, and experiences.
My work sits at the intersection of innovation, technology, and human-centered design. I partner with Fortune 100 organizations to shape brand, define experience strategy, and guide ideas from early insight through execution at scale.
I believe strong leadership balances clarity and curiosity. I’m drawn to asking better questions, creating space for discovery, and guiding teams toward solutions that are both meaningful and measurable. The work should be rigorous and human, done with intention, trust, and a sense of possibility.
