What People Say about Dianna’s Work
“I’ve spent 8 years in fundraising, and Dianna is one of the only people in my work network that I consider as someone who truly understands the nuances of creating and running a program. She’s done it all: program design, execution, and ongoing maintenance — and she knows it from the programmatic, administrative, AND fundraising angle. It’s really helpful to have her on board, as she truly balances both a bird’s eye level view of the project as well as the nitty-gritty nuances of daily operations.”
– Viola Mai
“As the founder and CEO of a social enterprise serving the East Bay that launched during the pandemic, Ms. Tremblay’s expertise was invaluable to my ability to keep CoBiz operating for more than six years, despite significant internal and external challenges. Her powerful combination of startup experience, mastery of business development, deep expertise in fundraising and access to capital, and strong governance and compliance foundation set her apart. Most importantly, Ms. Tremblay brings a rare balance of genuine empathy and clear accountability, making her an exceptional and trusted advisor to her clients.”

Why Helia LOVES Dianna
Jess (Helia’s Founder) has known Dianna for 10+ years now, connecting as humans that loved and worked in Oakland who got to work (Dianna) and volunteer (Jess) to support small businesses. Dianna has this beautiful direct way of just telling it like it is – with an open heart, an abundant and growth mindset, AND boundaries that we can all aspire to. When she speaks, we all listen and she consistently moves things forward in ways that not only make things happen but that we can also all feel good about!
Dianna finds joy + ease in
Being creative and tactile. I love finding my creativity in unexpected places, like building a spreadsheet – I can spend hours doing that. Just like I can spend hours learning Spanish (it’s been a fun and long journey!) knitting, painting, or making candles.
