Daniela Marzavan is a “pracademic,” best known for working at the intersection of innovation and new organisations, guided by her own frameworks and design thinking, bridging theory and practice by integrating hands on experience with academic teaching and publishing.

At The Epic Talent Society, Daniela brings her Meraki talk, built around the personal story of her grandfather and how he thrice reclaimed everything he lost, each time with Meraki.

In an era where so much work feels transactional, the question is what changes when we put joy, passion, and a bit of ourselves into everything we do.

As a speaker, Daniela unpacks the origin and etymology of Meraki through vivid storytelling, showing that whether we recall Fernando Pessoa or call it Brio, this attitude is universal.

On the frontier of how we work, Daniela challenges us to treat Meraki as a profound source of inspiration and a transformative force in our lives.
