Employee Spotlight: Daina Welsh. Leading with Adaptability and Heart

Making an Impact 

“I’m incredibly proud to be part of a company where the work we do truly shows. When I see our clients posting on social media about their experiences, I feel an immense sense of pride knowing we are the operations and the team behind that success, the ones making it happen and making an impact.” 

That’s Daina Welsh, General Manager of C2 Operations. For seven years, she has been an essential force at Capacity, leading the operational engine that supports clients from emerging startups to major celebrity brands. Every time an order ships and a client shares their excitement online, it’s a reminder of the dedication and excellence driving our team. 

Career Milestones 

A major career milestone for Daina has been growing as a leader in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment where adaptability is essential. She’s learned how to keep morale high, support her team through shifting priorities, and lead effectively, even in a language that isn’t her first. 

Being one of the first and only female General Managers, and the youngest, has also been a significant milestone. Her colleagues supported her from day one, and she worked hard to show that she could run right beside them. She absorbed everything like a sponge, turning that knowledge into support she could give back to the team. 

Client Leadership 

On the client side, Daina is proud that she can provide expert guidance on packing, shipping, and operational best practices to help their businesses grow while maintaining high-quality execution. 

Culture of Support & Empowerment 

Capacity’s flexible and supportive environment has been important for Daina, especially as a single mom of three: 

“Capacity is big on making work enjoyable and balancing family time. They want a community feel, and that means a lot to a single mom.” 

She appreciates the variety of personalities and backgrounds at Capacity, describing the workplace as “never boring” and a place where there’s always something new to learn. 

Advice for Future Team Members 

One of the biggest reasons Daina has grown so quickly in her career is because this company constantly brings in new functions, products, machinery, and ideas. The exposure and hands-on experience she’s gained here would have taken years to access anywhere else. They truly trust you to become the expert and run with it. 

So for anyone considering joining: 

“If you want to grow, learn fast, adapt, be trusted to lead, and still maintain respect, balance, and collaboration — this is the place. And most importantly, remember to have fun every day.”
