Daniel Zinnel, CEO of Proteus, Inc., leverages his personal experience as both a farm owner and worker to help agricultural workers and farmers succeed. Leading the nonprofit across Iowa, Nebraska, and Indiana, Zinnel focuses on meeting the needs of farm families and workers, many of whom are migrants facing language barriers and lacking essential support systems. Guided by values of humility and hard work, he emphasizes a human-centered approach, urging us to engage directly with those impacted to better understand and address their challenges.
