ESTERILLOS, Costa Rica - June 24, 2025 - PRLog -- "I believed in my path. He built the stage."
That's how Dr. Dana D. Wells, award-winning Chief Human Capital Strategist and founder of DW&A, described her first boss, Terry Young, in a powerful new video filmed within the first 24 hours of her Costa Rica visit.
Thirty-four years after walking into his office as a full-time student and employee, Dr. Wells is no longer the mentee; she's the founder and CEO of DW&A, a human capital strategy firm that has helped clients achieve $1.5 billion in performance improvements, an 837% ROI, within five years.
In the video, recorded against the Pacific Ocean's backdrop, Dr. Wells and Mr. Young revisit the origin of a career transformation legacy: co-founding the Texas A&M University System's first-ever Technology Licensing Office, scaling from 4 to 40 people in three months, and generating $6 million in licensing revenue within three years.
"This wasn't just a reunion," said Dr. Wells. "It was a full-circle moment; proof that leadership legacy can transform generations."
"When I met Dana, I saw a spark," said Young. "It's no surprise she went on to lead at the level she does today."
