Dana Kirwin

Director, Employer Groups

Dana Kirwin joined Medela in 2019 and leads the strategy and solutions for Employer and Government Relations, with the goal of expanding how Medela’s deep insight and expertise around the breastfeeding journey contributes to improving the experience for breastfeeding parents. Prior to Medela, Dana worked at both Optum and Medtronic and brings more than 16 years of experience in the employer benefits and population health space.


As a working mom herself, Dana understands the challenges faced by both employers and new parents during the return-to-work transition. She is passionate about driving policy changes that provide more support and protections for growing families, and helping employers better understand how they can attract, retain, and engage the valuable segment of working moms and parents in their employee population.


Dana graduated from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, and currently lives in Minneapolis with her husband and two children.
