Diana Dosik, Founder and Managing Partner
Diana Dosik founded Starling Partners in order to provide executive coaching, leadership team re-wiring and organizational design and transformation consulting services to leaders of complex organizations with multiple stakeholders.
Before founding Starling Partners, Diana was a Partner at The Boston Consulting Group, where she advised clients on a range of topics including organizational design, organizational behavior, culture design, leadership success, and organizational effectiveness. Diana consulted with Fortune 500 companies across industries over 16 years, with particular expertise in healthcare and financial services. Her deep focus on organizational issues for C-suite leaders led to her talk on the TED stage and to several articles about organizational design and organizational health. Diana also served as an internal coach, helping teams perform better and serve clients more effectively. Her passion for coaching and mentoring in particular led to her executive coaching training at Newfield Network and subsequent training in Positive Intelligence.
Diana started Starling Partners after realizing the potential of combining tried and true socio-organizational analysis at the group level with context-aware executive coaching on the individual level. Diana is passionate about removing emotional and interpersonal roadblocks from work so that people can just enjoy doing the work they love and do it well.
Diana was Phi Beta Kappa at Yale University, and earned her MBA from Harvard Business School. She did her executive coaching training at Newfield Network, and is experienced with various diagnostic tools (e.g. Hogan, MBTI, Enneagram, DISC, PQ).
Diana is a hot yoga devotee, and lives in New York City with her husband and three children.
