Danna Azrieli is a Canadian-born Israeli businesswoman, the active Chairwoman of the Azrieli Group (TASE: AZRG), Israel's largest publicly traded commercial real estate company. She is the daughter of the late founder, David Azrieli (d. 2014), who built the empire and authored the book One Step Ahead about his experience surviving the Holocaust and escaping Nazi-occupied Poland.

Danna's background is rooted in law and sociology: she holds a B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and a J.D. (Law degree) from Vermont Law School. She made Aliya (immigrated to Israel) in 2000. This blend of legal training, social consciousness, and a profound commitment to her father's Holocaust survival narrative prepared her for the high-stakes stewardship of the family's assets in Israel and abroad.

Danna Azrieli's career within the Azrieli Group began in 1995, where she worked in various real estate roles. She was appointed Chairwoman in 2014, following her father's death, and has served as a member of the Board of Directors since the company's IPO in 2010. Under her leadership, the Azrieli Group has maintained its dominance in the development and management of shopping malls and office buildings throughout Israel and the U.S.

Her strategic focus has been on diversification and modernization, including the recent expansion into the Senior Housing sector in Israel. Danna is also a major philanthropic leader, serving as the Chairwoman of the Azrieli Foundation Israel, ensuring the family's wealth is channeled toward educational and social causes. Her immense wealth is tied to the long-term, appreciating value of the commercial real estate portfolio she oversees.

Danna Azrieli's philanthropy is massive and dual-focused: Honoring the Holocaust Legacy and supporting Science/Education. Her structural contribution is the creation of jobs and commercial infrastructure in Israel. She chairs the Azrieli Foundation Israel, which supports educational projects, including those at the Weizmann Institute of Science, which she views as the 'example of Israel's best and finest characteristics.'

Her personal commitment to telling her father's story is reflected in her authorship of the book 'One Step Ahead,' detailing his Holocaust survival and journey to Israel.

Danna Azrieli maintains the professional, elegant style of a high-profile Israeli executive. Her attire is consistently formal and high-quality, favoring tailored business suits. Her aesthetic is one of confident, inherited authority, blending her legal training with her commercial responsibilities.

Residing in Herzliah Pituach, Israel, her luxury is the profound security and autonomy derived from her multi-billion dollar fortune. Her life is defined by her dedication to her family's legacy, the stability of Israel's largest real estate firm, and her commitment to cultural and scientific patronage.
