Dani Perez

Dani Perez is the Training and Development Manager for Asset Protection at The Winn-Dixie Company (TWDC). In her role, she leads learning and development strategies that strengthen leadership capability, support operational execution, and help shape a culture of safety, accountability, and adaptability across the organization.

Dani brings a background in education, curriculum development, and organizational learning, including experience working with globally distributed teams at Google to improve collaboration and performance. Her work has centered on helping teams navigate communication, learning, and change in high-pressure and remote environments.

Dani’s approach is grounded in the understanding that learning, change, and emotional experience are neurologically intertwined, and that effective development works with that reality rather than against it. She focuses on translating that insight into practical application, helping leaders turn knowledge into action through coaching, practice, and real-world experience.

She is currently finalizing her PhD in Learning Science, focused on how thinking, emotion, and social connection influence how people perform, adapt, and grow in real-world environments.
