Throughout her 30 year plus career, strategic planning has been her passion and her strength, with a rare insight for taking a longer-term view for maximising business opportunities.Diana’s professional experience ranges a diverse spectrum of commercial, chartered accounting and business advisory including: from a chartered accountant with Coopers & Lybrand; to senior financial management and planning positions in some of Australia’s leading companies including Santos, Southcorp, Normandy Mining and Coles Myer; to business advisor, mentor and facilitator with a bigger picture approach to strategic planning and related solutions.As a point of difference, Diana has combined the lessons learnt from her corporate background with a creative energy for thinking about things differently. Her approach is instinctive rather than prescriptive, based on fresh ideas and a desire to keep things real and simple.Diana has a can do attitude with a passion for embracing the potential of businesses and taking them beyond their expectations. She enjoys working with people from diverse backgrounds and skills; her common sense approach to dealing with business issues and formulating recommendations, a welcome support to businesses looking to take a renewed or fresh perspective to their current focus and direction.Specialties: People & Project Management, Strategic Planning, Business Advisory, Corporate Mentoring & Coaching
