Colleagues describe her as "Working under Diana was hands down the best and most rewarding professional experience I've had to date. Outside of being a genuinely great person, Diana possesses so many superpowers it's almost unfair. To name a few: Storytelling: She brings data to life through captivating stories. In meetings, her ability to summarize complex financial data and analyses left everyone engaged, clear on the problem and ready to take action. Idea Capture & Builder: Best in class organizer, note-taker and process improver. She creates well-documented processes that streamlined operations. The Company continues to use many of these processes/structures in a post-Diana era highlighting how sturdy she builds things and how well a job she does the first time around. X-Ray Vision: Diana is wickedly smart. She has the awesome ability to think 10 steps ahead and see around corners that no-one else could; A skill that paid dividends when it came to all things strategy and risk management. Force multiplier: beyond just having these skills above, her incredible superpower is how she's able to export these traits to others and make her colleagues superheroes too. Diana continuously challenged me to take on more demanding roles and gave me all the tools to be successful. Working under her, I found myself on the most accelerated path of personal and professional growth, and it is because of her faith in my abilities and her guidance that I discovered hidden strengths. Diana's impact is immeasurable and any organization would be more than fortunate to have her as a leader. & If you're an Analyst, Manager, Director, Accountant or anyone else who is thinking about working under her, please please do it. A growth path awaits you.", "After business school, I decided to make a formal pivot from a background of investment banking and financial securities into FP&A in tech. I had the great fortune of taking my first role in tech working for Diana. I could not have asked for a better position to be in while making a full career shift. I made tons of mistakes as I was filling my knowledge gaps and the patience with which Diana handled those mistakes is what stands out to me the most. I think that had I worked with someone who was impatient or hammered me for those mistakes, I would have been more reluctant and wouldn't have learned as quickly. Knowing that there was not only room for mistakes but also that those mistakes would be handled with care, really allowed me to work comfortably in a role and industry that was unfamiliar to me. Diana is a thoughtful, understanding person who has a ton of knowledge and information. She taught me from the ground up how to build robust financial models and taught me best practices within corporate finance. She is certainly the sort of person I recommend working for (and with), as she makes you and your organization better in many ways.", and "I cannot recommend Diana highly enough. She is one the smartest people I have met during my time at Disney. She possesses exceptional financial modeling, analytical, and technical skills such that you'll learn something new every time you work with her. Diana is also a hard worker with strong work ethics and a great team player. It was a pleasure working with Diana and any team would be lucky to have her!"
