A business owner, author, speaker, and Influencer, Donna Serdula thrives on empowering people to transform their lives and realize their most sought-after goals.

The pioneer of LinkedIn profile optimization, she built the successful website, LinkedIn-Makeover.com, more than a decade ago. In that time, she has worked with more than 6,000 executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals, utilizing a talented team of over 30 writers, coaches, and branding specialists to bring dynamic brand storytelling to the masses.

Donna and her team act as a board of futurists/creative thinkers/global brand advocates for their clients by designing success strategies that cross industries and change lives. When developing personal and corporate brands, Donna’s vision is one of possibility. It is this foundation that inspired her to launch and establish Vision Board Media, the parent company of LinkedIn-Makeover.com, where she helps to infuse the global marketplace with diverse, brilliant people and products.

Donna earned her stripes in corporate America with more than ten years in sales, marketing, and business operations. Today, she lives in New Jersey with her husband and four children. As a daughter and wife of former military, Donna believes in giving back and provides her digital products free to active duty and veterans.
