Dan Berman, 35

The best business lesson Dan Berman has ever learned, he says, is to “do good where you can, while you can.” And he lives true to his word.

For the past year, Berman has overseen Infant Massage USA, reviving the organization by recruiting a full board, a new executive director and development staff, all while recouping his own health. The president and chairman of the nonprofit has also had to balance work from a hospital bed after first suffering from spinal issues from a boating accident and then getting an infection that went to his heart and crashed all his organs.

Infant Massage USA, with 7,000 members, “aims to educate parents and caregivers on the importance of positive touch for babies," Berman says.
