Bio
Howard Wishnia, MBA
Diane was brought on board as a concultant to assist in a very difficult time where we were short staffed and overloaded with work. Her ability to step in with little to no appropriate training was invaluable to stabilize various aspects of Supply Chain Finance. She challenged the status quo, delivered on time, and always went the extra mile to provide high quality work. She questioned what needed to be questions, delivered what needed to be delivered and provided unwaivering support when needed regardless of if requested of her. Diane was a star performer and I consider it to have been an honor and priveledge to have worked with her and would gladly do it again.
