Dana Yeganian

Senior Vice President

Dives headfirst into understanding energy, health care and other policy issues. Writer for highly placed politicians and Fortune 500 companies. Atypical soccer mom. Dana’s career boils down to the three Ps: policy, politics and public relations. Her experience runs the gamut from consulting on social and environmental issues to developing media relations and crisis plans to writing corporate responsibility reports. When Dana came on board, she was not a new face at Capstrat. Where had she been? Gaining valuable experience at Progress Energy, where she specialized in environmental and policy communications. Dana’s government and policy expertise comes from her time as a policy analyst and press aide for Governor Jim Hunt. A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, Dana majored in journalism and political science.
