About Diana Benedikt

I'm part of an amazing executive search group focused on providing top talent to CPG companies in the 'better-for-you' and sustainable spaces. With over 20 years in the startup and VC ecosystem, I bring expertise in growth strategy and talent acquisition for companies of all sizes. I've also spent time as a Chief of Staff, running Business Operations for high-growth startups, ranging up to 100 people. With that comes operational expertise around People Ops and recruiting, board operations and management, growth analytics and information reporting, and much more. Previously, I've consulted with more than 200 notable SaaS, mobile, and consumer product startups on operational scaling, talent acquisition, marketing, business development, strategic finance and more.
