Daniel (Dan) Cohn serves as President & CEO of Vitric Advisors, a boutique strategy consulting firm that partners with philanthropic foundations, collaboratives, and public–private initiatives at moments of transition, growth, and strategic inflection. He is known as a trusted advisor to senior leaders navigating complexity, bringing clarity to ambiguity, structure to evolving ideas, and alignment across diverse stakeholders.

Dan is known for his ability to translate ambitious vision into actionable strategy. His work centers on helping organizations make critical decisions, design effective structures, and move from concept to coordinated implementation. With a background spanning philanthropy, coalition-building, public policy, and executive leadership, he brings a pragmatic, systems-oriented lens to complex challenges.

Prior to founding Vitric Advisors, Dan served as Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of the Mt. Sinai Health Foundation, where he led strategy development, partnership building, and grantmaking across community health and public policy. In this role, he founded the Lead Safe Cleveland Coalition, a 500-member public–private partnership focused on ending childhood lead exposure, and co-led efforts to raise and deploy more than $120 million to support low-income property owners in making critical health and safety repairs.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dan co-directed Cleveland’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund, a $20+ million collective impact initiative addressing urgent community needs. In this capacity, he served as liaison to the region’s nonprofit sector and received commendation from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine for his leadership in increasing vaccination rates among vulnerable populations. He also served as Interim Executive Director of First Year Cleveland, leading a strategic reset to refocus the organization on community-based approaches to reducing infant mortality. He also previously chaired the 18-month effort to design and launch the Healthy Lakewood Foundation following a politically contentious hospital closure.

Earlier in his career, Dan held appointments with Cornell University’s Center for Engaged Learning + Research, the Congressional Hunger Center, and the USDA Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, where he contributed to First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative.

Dan’s academic background includes public health, ethics, and public affairs. His work is grounded in a commitment to thoughtful analysis, candid dialogue, and translating complexity into clear, forward-moving strategy. Outside of work, Dan owns and operates Collected Home, an interior design studio and styling consultancy. He also enjoys global travel, collecting art, and spending time with his extremely sweet—and extremely needy—dog, Lily.

With several years of experience in business operations, Geneva (Gen) has supported business owners across various industries, helping to make workflows more efficient and effective. Gen’s academic background is in Tourism and Hospitality Management, reflecting a passion for travel and cultural exploration. Outside of work, she is a proud mother who enjoys spending meaningful time with her family. She stays active and maintains her fitness through gym workouts and Pilates and is involved in church fellowship, where she finds connection and purpose.

Rachel Reichlin, MSN, MPH, RN, launched Health Justice Partners so that everyone has the opportunity to shape the structures that influence their health. She brings extensive experience in nursing across diverse settings – at the bedside, in community, in managed care, and in philanthropy. As a strategist and connector skilled in building and facilitating collective impact initiatives, she centers and uplifts those most affected by systemic inequities locally and abroad. Core to Rachel’s approach is the strength of relationships built on trust, reflection, joy and curiosity; qualities she nurtures daily as a mom of two young children in Chicago.

Anna serves as Executive Assistant to President & CEO Dan Cohn, overseeing essential administrative functions as well as financial management. She brings a passion for efficiency, organization, and thoughtful coordination ensuring processes run smoothly and enabling the team to focus on high-impact work.

With a keen eye for detail and a steady, solutions-oriented approach, Anna helps streamline communication, scheduling, and logistics, contributing to Vitric’s commitment to clarity and excellence.

Outside of work, Anna enjoys hiking, reading, and creating art.
