Why Us

The Soul of the Search

We don’t just watch the future happen. We help author it.

With decades of experience navigating growth, change, and reinvention, we know that “seasoned” isn’t enough. You need story-driven strategy. We find the leaders and talent who don’t just carry a vision to market…they make the market believe in a vision.

At Impact Narrative, we don’t just search. We unearth. We bring the rigor of a global firm and the heart of a storyteller to every mission. Because when the right leader and talent meets the right story, impact isn’t just possible…it’s inevitable.

Dana Young

Founder

Dana doesn’t just fill roles; he builds teams that drive the future in growth and impact.

With over 15 years in the trenches of executive search, Dana has mastered the art of finding “rare ones”…the transformative leaders who turn impact into movements. Before founding Impact Narrative, he honed his craft at ZurickDavis, where he led high-stakes searches for some of the most vital names in healthcare, from Tufts Medicine to Boston Health Care for the Homeless.

His perspective was forged at the intersection of innovation and community. Whether navigating high-growth chaos of early-stage startups at TriNet or advising New England’s largest charitable organizations, Dana has spent his career proving one thing: A mission is only as powerful as the people carrying it.

He started Impact Narrative to ensure those missions find their true voice.

Let’s build the story.

Your mission is too vital to stay quiet. Tell us where you are headed, we we will help you find the voice to lead you there.
