Team of Senior Advisors Grows

Bert Armstrong
Co-Founder & Principal

Armstrong McGuire is excited to announce that Todd Brantley and Dana Mangum are joining the team as Senior Advisors.

Todd Brantley comes to Armstrong McGuire after most recently serving as the Vice President of Public Affairs at the North Carolina Rural Center. With nearly 25 years of professional and leadership experience in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors, Todd brings extensive experience in marketing, strategic communications, crisis communications, policy analysis, research, organizational operations, and strategic planning.  

As a native of Randolph County and a current resident of Wayne County, Todd knows a thing or two about rural communities and the network of nonprofits that make them thrive.


Dana Mangum brings over 30 years of leadership experience in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors. Dana most recently served as the CEO of SHIFTNC, CEO of North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and Executive Director of the North Carolina Community AIDS Fund. In the for-profit arena, Dana held leadership roles during her 17 years within the pharmaceutical industry focusing on operational improvement, marketing, clinical trials, supply chain, and business management areas.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Todd and Dana join our team,” said Co-founder and Principal Bert Armstrong. “Todd brings a unique rural perspective along with a real breadth of experience in communications and advocacy. With her executive leadership in both for-profit and nonprofit, Dana has a knack for uncovering operational areas that need strengthening and then designing a plan to help a nonprofit thrive.”

We hope you will join us in welcoming these talented new members to our team.

Each member of the Armstrong McGuire team shares an experienced approach that is rooted in compassion and understanding, enabling advisors to be perceptive of the needs of each community and receptive to the changes that drive the most positive outcomes.
