Dana Cantelo
Blogging has always come naturally to Dana in her role as Marketing Coordinator at Verduyn Tarps, where she's spent the past 5 years immersed in the trucking and load securement industry, planning and attending trade shows and conferences, and speaking directly with fleet owners and drivers about the real challenges they face on the road. That firsthand exposure shapes the practical, no-nonsense advice found throughout the blog.
She also manages Verduyn Tarps' social media accounts across the US and Canadian markets. Dana brings a marketing education and nearly two decades of leadership experience across several industries to her work, giving her a well-rounded lens on what makes brands trustworthy to the people who buy from them. On weekends, she's usually squeezing in a run, playing hockey, or enjoying a homecooked vegan meal with her family, all with a good playlist on in the background.
Let’s keep the conversation going on LinkedIn!
