Mandana Rivka Dayani (born 1982) is an Iranian-American businesswoman, media executive, and attorney. In 2018, she co-founded "I Am a Voter," a nonpartisan organization aimed at educating and mobilizing voters, in partnership with Creative Artists Agency. From 2021 to 2022, she served as the president of Archewell, the media and philanthropic company founded by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Since the Gaza war started in October 2023, Dayani has made frequent media appearances to speak on antisemitism.
Dayani was born in Iran during the Iraq-Iran war into a Persian Jewish family who had attempted to leave Iran since the 1979 Iranian revolution. They obtained a travel visa to go to Italy in 1987. They were granted asylum as religious refugees in the United States with the help of Jewish American nonprofit HIAS, and when she was five years old she and her family moved to Queens, New York, where her father worked as a shoe salesman; they eventually moved to Los Angeles. Her father owned a wholesale distributor of children's clothing in Los Angeles.
Dayani attended the University of Southern California, where she received her bachelor's degree and went on to earn her Juris Doctor from the USC Gould School of Law.
Dayani began her career as a corporate attorney at Paul Hastings. She then became a talent agent representing celebrities and fashion designers, including fashion stylist Rachel Zoe. This led her to later become head of the company Rachel Zoe, Inc., which included The Rachel Zoe Collection, The Zoe Report, Rachel Zoe Ventures, The Curateur, and a producer and regular on her reality television series, The Rachel Zoe Project (2008–2013).
Dayani was chief brand officer of an online marketplace for estate sales named Everything But The House, and the executive producer of its show on HGTV.

During this time, she played a significant role in the couple's business dealings with Spotify and Netflix.
During New York Fashion Week in late 2018, Dayani co-founded "I Am a Voter," a nonpartisan organization aimed at educating and mobilizing voters, which has been promoted by celebrities and athletes. The organization was co-founded by more than 30 women and the Creative Artists Agency. A social media campaign headed by the organization involved having actors meet with their former costars, including actors from Will & Grace, Friends, Iron Man, and The Avengers.
Ahead of the 2024 US presidential election, the organization announced a merger with the nonpartisan voter registration organization HeadCount to consolidate resources.
