About Daniel Lubetzky

Daniel Lubetzky’s commitment to building bridges runs deep. His early work promoting economic cooperation in the Middle East laid the foundations for a lifelong pursuit: helping people think flexibly, solve creatively and unite around shared humanity. That same philosophy guided him to establish KIND Snacks in 2004 from a small basement office, transforming it into a multibillion-dollar brand and a pioneer in health transparency and socially conscious business.

Through Camino Partners, Daniel now invests in and supports leaders building enduring businesses that enrich consumers’ lives. He is also the founder of Builders, a civic movement empowering people to move beyond polarisation and rediscover common ground through practical, community-driven solutions.

A proud political independent, Daniel brings a values-first approach to entrepreneurship and civic life alike. His insights have been featured by TED, TIME, CNN, Newsweek and Fortune, and he joined the Shark Tank cast full-time in 2024 after five seasons as a guest. He is also the New York Times-bestselling author of Do the KIND Thing.

Daniel’s achievements have earned him numerous honours, including The King Center’s Beloved Community Award, the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, and the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award. Appointed by President Obama as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, he continues to inspire global audiences to build—not divide—the world around them.
Born in Mexico and a proud U.S. citizen, Daniel holds degrees in Economics and International Relations from Trinity University and a JD from Stanford Law School.

His warmth, integrity and optimism resonate deeply with audiences seeking purpose, unity and impact in turbulent times.
