Danielle Davis is the director for BIPOC business growth at The Capital Region Chamber. Davis has over 10 years of business experience, having started her business in Albany and learning the teething pains associated with such a venture. Before becoming an entrepreneur, she served 18 years in the military before resigning her commission at the rank of major. Her military service saw her not only specializing in logistics but also had appointments in administration and human resources. Her current role at The Capital Region Chamber gives targeted assistance to BIPOC businesses in the Capital Region. This assistance ranges from business coaching, assistance with minority- and/or women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) certification, connecting entrepreneurs to resources, and facilitating business-to-business networking. She is uniquely qualified for this role through her experience in both government and business.

Davis’s passion is philanthropy, and she is determined to help build BIPOC businesses in the region. She is also on the South Glens Falls Habitat for Humanity Board. Davis has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and many other military and civilian certifications in various fields.
