Born and raised in the Soviet Union, Diana’s American journey has spanned over two decades across various states and ignited her passion for accounting during her studies at the University of Oregon.

Later, she embraced a new role as the Controller of WISErg, a Seattle-area startup that has pioneered upcycling nutrients from recovered food for use in fertilizer and nutrient efficiency products that enhance plant and soil health.  Diana took charge of WISErg’s financial health and set the foundation for its success.
