OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
DAN BERLIN Dan Berlin is an enterprising entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, and endurance athlete who happens to be blind. He believes in creating opportunities and giving back around the globe.
Dan gradually lost his eyesight from cone-rod dystrophy. He was diagnosed at 7 years old and became legally blind in his late 20s. After more than 12 years of working around the globe in large multinational corporations, he co-founded Rodelle, a world-leading vanilla extract company, which sold to Archer-Daniels-Midland Company in 2018 and subsequently exited as CEO at age 48. He decided, despite his blindness, to become a marathoner. Dan has since run twelve marathons, including NYC and Boston, completed several triathlons, was the first blind athlete to run across the Grand Canyon and back, ran the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in less than 13 hours, and recently completed his greatest challenge to date: climbing to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in two and a half days. Dan is a co-founder and President of Team See Possibilities. He serves as chairman of the board of Success Beyond Sight, a nonprofit corporation that helps individuals who are blind or have low vision to advance professionally and fully engage in community life by eliminating barriers to their equal opportunity for success. Dan is also a member of and co-founded Team Sea to See which was comprised of four blind cyclists riding tandem bicycles in 2018 Race Across America. Dan’s passion is finding and uplifting ability in himself and others. |
