Strategist. Facilitator. Connector. Coach. A native Tennessean, Donna’s roots run deep in Southern hospitality, a culture of giving, and an abiding love of SEC football and cows—ask her about the bovine that paid her way through college!

Don’t let that Southern twang fool you—under the surface lies the heart and soul of a Steel Magnolia driven by a passion for coaching and helping architects, engineers, and builders identify and maximize their unique talents and expertise. She works with A/E/C firms across the country to focus strategic vision rooted in research, grow connections and chemistry with clients and partners, and help teams engaged in project delivery, marketing, and business development thrive and win profitable work.

With more than 700 technical professionals trained as effective doer-sellers, Donna brings a deep understanding of the A/E/C market and a proven track record of performance and results.

As a marketing professional in the A/E/C sector, Donna is committed to amplifying women’s voices in fields where they have historically been underrepresented. Guided by collaboration and curiosity, she strives to create opportunities for women to lead and thrive. As co-founder of AEC Power Women in Nashville, she has spent more than a decade building a vibrant community that connects, elevates, and champions women leaders across these industries.

A CPSM and SMPS Fellow, Donna is an active SMPS member, having served as Society President and as an SMPS Foundation Trustee. She received SMPS’s highest honor, the Weld Coxe Marketing Achievement Award, in 2019, recognizing career achievements, leadership roles, and lasting contributions to the A/E/C industry.

An engaging and enthusiastic speaker, Donna presents a diverse range of leadership, business strategy, marketing, and business development topics for AIA, AGC, ABC, ACEC, and SMPS audiences at the chapter, regional, and national levels.
