Dan Vallejo, CEO and Co-founder

Dan grew up in the communications world at Ogilvy with experiences on DuPont and Johnson & Johnson in China. Shortly after he joined the company, he joined a small group of sustainability pioneers and helped create and build OgilvyEarth, Ogilvy's sustainability consulting and marketing practice. Over the next three years, Dan helped grow OgilvyEarth into a global practice with over twenty offices.

Dan believes that organizations are most effective when their social values are built into their business strategies. He helped define OgilvyEarth’s point of view around this belief and has brought this approach to bear with The Mutual. Dan believes fiercely in The Mutual’s vision to align the self-interests of businesses and people as a means of change to create a better world.

Dan's purpose-driven approach extends beyond the office, including helping to develop fund raising platforms with The American Cancer Society during the 2008 NYC Marathon and consulting on food & wine experiences for The James Beard Organization and local supper clubs in New York City.
