Danielle Saputo: Finding Your Voice in a Family Business

What does it really take for the next generation to find their own voice in a family business?

Danielle Saputo—third generation of the Saputo family and author of I Am Enough—shares her perspective on identity, expectations, and engaging the next generation, whether inside or outside the family enterprise.

Growing up in a multigenerational family business comes with opportunity—and pressure. In this episode of Beyond The Family Business, I sit down with Danielle Saputo to explore the challenges next-generation family members face when defining success on their own terms.

We discuss the history of the Saputo family business, why Danielle chose to pursue her own path, and what she has found most rewarding in helping other families navigate next-generation engagement. Danielle also reflects on the lessons that have been most meaningful to her personally—as a mother, a sister, and a family business advisor.

This conversation is for next-generation family members, founders, and advisors looking to better understand how identity, voice, and choice shape long-term family enterprise success.
