What inspires you?
Connecting with people inspires me. I love to attend events and meet with our charity partners to learn about their mission and how they help people. Knowing we’ve helped them to make a difference—that inspires me to get up and go into work the next day.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
My family owned an electrical manufacturing company when I was growing up. It was a very male-dominated industry. My mother told me, “Diane, you know there are a lot of men in this industry. Never let anything stop you from being what you want to be, especially being a woman.” After that, I was never intimidated by anyone or anything.
