Our Story
Built by a founder, for founders.
DG Professional Services was born from a simple conviction: that early-stage companies deserve the same caliber of strategic guidance as the Fortune 500 — without the bureaucracy, the billable-hour bloat, or the one-size-fits-all playbook.
Our Mission
We exist to close the gap between where ambitious founders are and where they're capable of going. That means honest counsel, hands-on partnership, and a relentless focus on what actually moves the needle.
Founder-First Thinking
Every recommendation we make is filtered through one question: does this serve the founder's long-term vision? We don't optimize for optics — we optimize for outcomes.
Radical Clarity
Ambiguity is expensive. We cut through the noise to give you a clear picture of where you stand, what's at stake, and exactly what to do next.
Earned Trust
We don't ask for trust — we earn it. Through consistent follow-through, transparent communication, and results you can point to.
Daniella Guffanti
Founder & Principal Advisor
Daniella Guffanti has spent her career at the intersection of strategy, growth, and execution — working with founders at every stage of their journey. Her background spans business strategy, operational design, and organizational excellence, giving her a rare ability to see the full picture and act on the parts that matter most.
She founded DG Professional Services after recognizing a persistent gap in the market: talented, driven founders who lacked access to the kind of senior-level strategic thinking that could meaningfully accelerate their trajectory. DG Professional Services is her answer to that gap — a firm built on the belief that the right advisor at the right moment can change everything.
