Getting the Most Out of Your People: Management Lessons from Building a Nonprofit Startup
Interview with Diana Zhang
What Diana says about this interview:
"I'd love to share the management lessons I've learned so far from building our nonprofit startup, NeighborShare, from scratch over the past year. Coming from 15 years' worth of training as a "for-profit" executive, I've found that those skills were directly applicable to the "for purpose" space I am now in, with some twists. For example, how do you build a high-performing team capable of building an entire organization from scratch, except you have to do it 100% remotely and you can't afford to pay them?"
Diana Zhang is the CEO and Co-Founder of NeighborShare, a rapidly-growing direct giving approach that empowers our communities' frontline heroes to help families through critical moments with the need of $400 or less. Diana brings 15 years of experience in strategy, operations, and scaling, having served in several executive roles at Bridgewater Associates, a premier asset management firm. Outside of work, Diana is passionate about food: cooking it, eating it, sharing it, photographing it, and advocating on behalf of those who lack access to it. She serves on the Board of Connecticut Foodshare. Diana graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Economics and Government from Dartmouth College.
