Impact & Value – Innovation with Heart

Diana’s work is characterised by three enduring themes: transformation, collaboration, and inclusion. On the transformation front, she has driven business-critical shifts—from legacy channels to digital ecosystems, and from product-centric to customer-centric models both in the government and private sectors. Through collaboration, Diana has bridged business units, IT, operations and external partners, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable and adopted. And through inclusion, she has helped craft frameworks and initiatives that promote women in tech, mentor young talent, and make leadership accessible. She founded the ToroBelle Literacy Foundation, an initiative that champions literacy initiatives and innovation among the youth.
