Born from a story of success

Charting Her Path

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Daniela DeGasperis is known for her enthusiasm and commitment to impacting her community. With a background in Marketing and Branding and a passion for philanthropy, Daniela is a trusted leader.

In the spring of 2020, Daniela founded DDM Group as a result of her own experiences navigating the financial landscape. Despite her desire for financial guidance, Daniela was disappointed in the range of resources and support offered by larger institutions.

Daniela’s experience inspired her to develop a network of industry experts with the knowledge and communication skills to provide superior service in counseling others on how to reach their financial and lifestyle goals.

Reinventing herself

Creating Change

An entrepreneur, media personality and force for positive change, Erica Ehm brings her remarkable ability to reinvent, influence and create to DDM Group as its Director of Communications and Culture.

Erica is a storyteller at heart. After a decade on camera at MuchMusic, she became a trailblazing entrepreneur, founding the Ehm & Co. agency and YMC.ca platform. Under her leadership, these companies earned many prestigious marketing and leadership awards, including a Governor General’s Innovation nomination.

A pioneer in content marketing, social media and community building, Erica is focused on leadership, innovation, and sharing her passion for pursuing one’s dreams. 

Our dreams are within reach
