Chief Executive Officer
As CEO of Age Safe® America, Dan Davenport is on a mission to make every home safer for aging adults. His personal experiences with aging parents opened his eyes to a broken system—homes that weren’t built for aging, families navigating it alone, and professionals without the tools or training to help. That firsthand perspective drives everything Age Safe does today.
Under Dan’s leadership, Age Safe® America has grown into the nation’s trusted authority on aging-in-place training and home safety certification, equipping professionals across 60+ disciplines with the skills to identify and resolve residential hazards before they become emergencies.
Dan brings deep experience scaling purpose-driven businesses. He co-founded RiseSmart, a technology-enabled services company that grew to serve enterprises in over 90 countries before being acquired by Randstad, a Global Fortune 500 company. As CEO of the post-acquisition division, he led the business to global recognition as a category leader in “Vision and Capability” by Everest Group.
Dan is also building Sprye, a complementary startup delivering practical, tech-enabled services that simplify caregiving and support aging in place. He serves as Vice Chair of the Board of Advisors for the Silicon Valley chapter of The Salvation Army, supporting efforts to serve seniors and vulnerable populations.
