About me
Danielle Vogel joined the faculty at American University's Kogod School of Business in 2022. Her classes (MGMT 360, MGMT 382 & MGMT 496) focus on the intersection between entrepreneurship and sustainability. She also serves as the Assistant Director of the Veloric Center for Entrepreneurship, where she helps run the AU Business Incubator. Prior to joining our faculty, she founded and operated a climate change motivated grocery store called Glen's Garden Market in Dupont Circle. Glen’s was beloved locally and recognized nationally as a leader in sustainability and innovation. She sold the business in 2021.
Through Glen’s, Danielle helped to launch over 90 local food businesses, of which more than 50 were woman-owned and nearly 25 were founded by people of color. She also founded a pitch competition called AccelerateHERdc to identify, incubate and accelerate lady-led local businesses, which were making significant and actionable sustainability commitments. Before founding Glen's, Danielle worked to pass comprehensive climate legislation as a staff to both Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate. She also served as a Trial Attorney within the Environmental Enforcement Section of the U.S. Department of Justice. In addition to teaching at the Kogod School of business, Danielle also teaches at the Washington College of Law. She earned her BA from Tufts University and her JD from the Washington College of Law.
