Leadership at DaBella
As Founder and CEO of DaBella, Donnie McMillan Jr. has built more than a home improvement company—he’s built a leadership pipeline rooted in discipline, integrity, and personal growth. Under his direction, DaBella has expanded nationwide by focusing not just on products and processes, but on people.
Leadership Philosophy
Donnie’s leadership philosophy is simple: give people structure, purpose, and a real shot at upward mobility. That mindset has turned entry-level hires into regional managers and created a culture where performance and character matter more than pedigree. He believes leadership should be earned through action and influence—not titles—and holds his team to that same standard.
Building Success from the Inside Out
The growth of DaBella is no accident—it’s the result of a deeply intentional system designed to promote from within. Employees are shown a clear path forward from day one, with support, mentorship, and accountability embedded into every step. By aligning the company’s success with personal development, Donnie has created a scalable model that empowers individuals while strengthening the business.
