TESTIMONIALS
Susan Glass Ruse
Executive Producer
HBO
“I have known and worked with Danielle Berger since 1997 - first at HBO, then on special projects and most recently as her real estate client. She is one of the smartest, most authentic people I’ve ever known. She has an uncanny ability to get straight to the point of any complex situation to begin her creative exploration. She’s collaborative, dogged in her search for the highest good, organized, thorough, creative, flexible, fun to work with and her experience is vast and impressive!
Danielle cares for her colleagues, projects and teams and treats everyone as she expects to be treated. Her excitement for the work is contagious. This combo is how she’s achieved amazing, impactful, award-winning work time and again.
Though her career path has not been a straight line, Danielle’s ability to think outside-of-the box and consistently asking ‘how can we make it better?’ has made her invaluable in her many varied endeavors.
I truly believe she will be an amazing asset in anything she sets her mind to do. Danielle would be a welcome addition to any team. I can easily recommend her highly.”
Alex Gonzalez
Executive Producer
NY1 News & NY1 Noticias
“Danielle finds and leverages common ground, creating campaigns that drive success for all parties. This talent for collaboration, combined with her standards for execution and detail, make her a powerful force in the media and marketing space.
I would not hesitate to work with Danielle and give my highest recommendation. Any organization looking for an expert who can manage complex, high-stakes campaigns while building lasting, productive partnerships would be fortunate to have her.”
Doc Hendley
CEO & Founder
Wine to Water
“Danielle was the very first producer that worked on telling our story back in 2009. In the last 5 years we have worked together on a number of different pieces that the CNN Heroes program aired to highlight our work. Danielle always had such an amazing eye for how each shoot should look and always told our story so well.
On top of her talent, her work ethic is second to none. She never had any problem working tireless long hour days to make sure each job was done right. As a result, each video or segment she produced would spread like wildfire on a social platform and ultimately caused thousands of people who had never heard of Wine To Water to begin following us and supporting our cause financially. I can't thank Danielle enough for all that she has done to help get our story out to the world.”
Eileen Mancera
Managing Director
Pemberton Asset Management
“I've had the pleasure of working with Danielle and can say with confidence that she is a standout professional in every sense. She brings a rare combination of creativity, strategic thinking, and unshakable dedication to everything she does.
Danielle is a natural problem solver—always finding smart, effective solutions where others see roadblocks. Her negotiation skills are sharp, and she approaches every conversation with a balance of confidence and empathy. She's also an incredibly organized and accomplished project manager who knows how to bring even the most complex initiatives to the finish line on time and with excellence.
What truly sets Danielle apart, though, is her brilliance in branding. She has an instinctive understanding of how to position and elevate a brand, and her work consistently delivers impact. Whether she’s leading a project, refining a brand’s voice, or building strategy, Danielle gives 100%—every time.
Any team would be lucky to have her.”
Elaine Del Valle
Film Director
Brownsville Bred
“I had the great pleasure of working with Danielle Berger on HBO’s Habla series, where she hired me as the Unit Production Manager. From the start, Danielle demonstrated exceptional leadership and clarity of vision. She knows how to bring the right people together, empower them to do their best work, and lead with both trust and precision.
Danielle’s ability to delegate effectively is one of her greatest strengths—she gives her team the autonomy to execute while maintaining a strong grasp of every moving part. Her communication is always clear and thoughtful, and she fosters an environment of mutual respect and creativity.
Working with Danielle was a masterclass in professional collaboration. She leads with confidence, empathy, and purpose—qualities that make her an invaluable force in any production.”
Dana Gold
Founding Director
Infinite Family
“Balancing the work of producing a compelling and visual story with honoring the dignity and privacy of the children of Infinite Family for CNN Heroes could have been a struggle, but because of Danielle's insight and respect for our work, it was instead a beautiful experience.
Danielle's passion for the work of "her" heroes was palpable. Her enthusiasm for our mission made the experience of CNN Heroes and all it's attendant interruptions a wonderful experience.
Danielle's depth of knowledge and ability to insightfully evaluate non-profits for CNN Heroes is part of what makes the honor significant. Her experience assessing the work of non-profits around the globe gives her a unique perspective and skill.
Personally, Danielle's enthusiasm and easy-going manner made working with her a joy. She kept us on task and pushing forward without ever freaking us out -- a real trick in such a pressured environment. Her unique skills and abilities make her practically irreplaceable. It would be my pleasure to work with her again, in whatever capacity she chose!”
