Dana Huettenhain is a transformative strategic leader dedicated to driving balanced growth and proving that diversity of thought is the foundation of innovation. As a key executive within Schneider Electric's Power Systems organization, she develops and executes North America's 1-5 strategy, balancing tactical execution with capacity planning and leading transformational initiatives.

Her most significant impact came through establishing a critical collaboration with the Data Center team. This partnership delivered pivotal improvements in forecasting and process alignment, directly enabling a high-growth market that now accounts for 50% of the total Power Systems revenue. This achievement secured the North American "One Team in Action" Award in 2025, underscoring her ability to unify teams for superior business results.

Dana’s unique career journey—spanning Electrical Distribution, National Electrical Contracting, and now Manufacturing leadership—has given her a full-spectrum perspective on the industry, but also taught her firsthand the challenges women face in technical spaces.

Early in her career, she struggled to be heard. The lesson she internalized became her mission: to be effective, it’s not just about what you say, but how you speak and when you speak. She discovered that confident, intentional communication is key to ensuring your message resonates.

Dana’s mission centers on helping others—especially women—find and amplify their voices. She actively builds this culture by creating a trusting environment: she listens intently, offers genuine support, and eliminates the fear of being wrong, ensuring everyone feels safe to contribute.

Her most critical piece of advice for any woman struggling to make an impact is clear and actionable: "Be confident in your area of expertise, speak with purpose and clarity, and leverage your unique perspective."

Dana’s ability to translate learning and agility into tangible business success has earned her recognition, including two President’s Club Awards at Schneider Electric (2018, 2020).

Guided by her mother’s philosophy—“Do you”—Dana embraces life as a gift and strives to share a smile every day. She balances her professional intensity with a passion for sports, planning annual family trips to explore new college football stadiums across the country.

Dana continues to champion the power of purposeful voice—proving that when women speak with clarity and conviction, they don’t just contribute, they transform.
