HANNAH DUBIN

GROUP Principal + Founder

The Group Forward was founded by Hannah Dubin. Hannah is described as the “swiss army knife of facilitation”—no matter what the situation, she’s got the perfect activity ready to help move a group forward. With over 15 years of experience working as a facilitator, trainer and consultant, Hannah’s people-centered approach to problem solving has helped hundreds of teams and organizations meet their goals and better serve their stakeholders. As a former summer camp director, Hannah’s most nerdy focus with clients is on how teams work together in order to unleash their best work.

She’s worked with a variety of organizations in the enterprise, nonprofits, education and social good spaces, including Etsy, Shopify, Squarespace, North Western Mutual, Marriott Hotels, Novartis, Mt. Sinai Hospital, IBM and General Assembly. Hannah has a Masters of Art in Leisure Studies from the University of Waterloo and a Bachelor’s Degree in Recreation Management from Acadia University. In her research, she focused on studying optimal learning environments, program evaluation, transfer of training, positive youth development and productive culture organizations.

Hannah is a proud mother of 3 hilarious and strong willed humans. She also loves a good grilled cheese sandwich and laughing to the point of tears.
