Danielle Goldman is the Co-Founder and CEO of Open Avenues, a nonprofit redefining how the U.S. retains global talent. Inspired by her father’s work as an immigration attorney, she saw the potential of immigrant professionals—and the barriers they face. Through Open Avenues, she created a unique model allowing foreign nationals to teach part-time at U.S. universities, unlocking cap-exempt H-1B visas and bypassing lottery and timing hurdles. Her work helps top employers retain talent and bridge academia with industry. Danielle is a recognized voice on immigration, workforce equity, and global talent policy.
