It grew to 700 employees, with 400 clients in 12 countries, and then the team sold the business to Omnicom for well into 9 figures. Since then, Diane has run another company, served on 10 boards, and carried out a massive study of The American Voter, which resulted in her recent book, Our Common Ground. In this interview with Fiona Blades, President of Mesh Experience, she will reflect on decades as a leader and CEO: her big mistakes, her turning points, and her advice for us.
