Diana was the managing director of the Bristol Pound CIC from 2018 until the organisation wound up. She wrote Value Beyond Money to leave a legacy for the important work of the organisation, and to open up the topic of economics to an audience of non-economists.
With our current economic system so clearly damaging the biosphere and eroding social justice, it is time to educate ourselves on the alternatives.
Diana has been working in the non-profit sector for over 20 years. She has held numerous roles in a variety of organisations, including Chief Executive Officer, Finance Director, Trustee and Consultant.
