The

has
noted
that
the
most
valuable
piece

received
from
a
mentor
was
to
"follow
your
passion,
do
what
you
love
to
do,
and
the
success
will
follow."

Dani
Neumann
'14,
MBA
'15,
who
earned
a
bachelor's
degree
in
communications
and
a
Master
of
Business
Administration
(MBA)
from
BW,
was
named
to
the
prestigious
Crain's
Cleveland
Business
list
of
up-and-coming
young
professionals,
"20
in
their
Twenties."
Neumann
has
been
at
Sherwin-Williams
Co.
for
nine
years,
starting
as
a
college
intern
and
moving
up
to
exterior
woodcare
product
marketing
manager
in
the
company's
consumer
brands
group.
Work
that
shines
Neumann's
work,
which
she
describes
as
"very
gratifying,"
is
known
to
impress
social
media
influencers,
especially
when
she
makes
a
splash
with
new
product
launches
like
metallic
aerosol
paint
and
new
colors
of
Krylon
Glitter
Blast.
She
also
spent
2021
leading
Sherwin-Williams'
women's
club.
Crain's
noted
that
the
group's
mix
of
philanthropy,
camaraderie
and
professional
development
"appeal
to
Neumann's
desire
to
help
others
and
her
drive
to
achieve."
"It
is
only
a
matter
of
time
before
she
holds
a
vice
president
position,"
Neumann's
boss
told
Crain's
in
supporting
her
nomination
for
the
award.
"To
say
that
she
is
a
future
leader
within
the
company
would
be
inaccurate,
as
she
is
clearly
a
leader
now
that
is
driving
growth
and
positive
change."
