Red Flags

  • Left GSD due to culture misalignment (e.g., public criticism, poor boundary setting by founder). Took care to ensure a smooth transition before leaving.

  • Sales/Lead generation is not her strongest area (prefers not to own revenue generation targets directly).

Assessment of Suitability for the Role
Dianne is a high-caliber operations leader with deep experience in founder support, operational systems design, and execution. She’s ideal for early-stage or scaling companies needing an operator to structure chaos, integrate teams, and manage with calm precision. Strong cultural fit for values-driven companies and founders who want to focus on vision while she owns execution.
