Meet Danielle

Hi, I am Danielle Pell, founder of Pell Partners.

My career started with an accounting degree from Quinnipiac College and several years in public accounting. I quickly realized that my real passion was less about the numbers and more about the people behind them. That insight led me to transition to Human Resources – a move that ultimately shaped my career.

For over 20 years, I’ve built my career in the financial services industry, with experience ranging from small hedge funds to large Fortune 500 companies. Most recently, I served as Global Head of HR for Finance at BNY, where I was a strategic partner to the CFO and their executive team with a mandate over the entire global Finance organization.

What has always energized me most is helping people find their fit – whether that means identifying the right career path, preparing for a new opportunity, or navigating a personal or organizational transition.

Today, I bring that experience into my career coaching practice. With a view from both sides of the table, I combine real-world HR, coaching, and consulting expertise with a practical, strategic people first approach. I’m here to help you gain clarity, recognize what you’re capable of, understand when to act, and know how to take that next step. Most importantly, I want you to walk away feeling more confident, more focused, and excited about the possibilities.

Because your career is always evolving, I believe you need more than a plan for today—you need people strategies for what’s next.
