Diana Chodeva
As a professional with over 20 years of experience gained in several businesses in diverse industries, I believe that things can always be done more effectively and more efficiently.
Solving complicated problems has been a constant in my life , which is why after completing my articles of clerkship with Deloitte at an early age, I found myself consulting to companies both large and small.
Companies that fail to prepare for the "future of work" will undoubtedly end up losing. In the end the dinosaurs always die and that is why I'm committed to helping businesses stay ahead of the competition in this transformational era.
Each client’s situation and challenges are unique. I listen to my clients to understand what they have identified as challenges. Taking a dive deep into the business with a fresh pair of eyes, I identify core issues and strengths before making recommendations. I collaborate with teams to define new and innovative approaches and execute on solutions to align strategic goals with departments, processes, organisational structures and business systems . I guarantee results for each of our clients.
