my journey to this work:
I'm Dwayne, Founder & Principal Strategist at DAY|WON.
I design & facilitate high-stakes alignment and learning sessions for teams at brand-driven companies navigating growth & change.
My background spans 15+ years shaping culture and capability at iconic brands including Apple, Adidas, Zalando, Lululemon and On, where I led Global Learning & Development.
I've navigated complex organizational matrices, led major culture initiatives, and helped teams through critical transitions.
Alongside my consulting work at DAY|WON, I also serve as Strategic Advisor to Manageable, a fast-growing startup helping managers build the confidence and habits to lead well.
DAY|WON isn't just a play on my name. It embodies the moments that matter:
Day 1 for a new team member stepping into leadership.
Winning the day when teams need to reset & realign.
The first days of big changes that define what comes next.
When teams face pivotal moments, I help them move through with clarity, alignment, and momentum. I bring a strategic facilitator's lens, a learning scientist's toolkit, and deep experience working at the intersection of brand, culture & capability.
If what you've seen above reflects what you're after, I'd be honored to help your team navigate what's next — together.
