TIKI Talk Ep. 24! Chief of Staff Diana Shaw!
Mike sits down with our "superintern" and Chief of Staff, Diana Shaw.
TIKI Talk Episode 24 features CEO Mike Audi sitting down with Diana Shaw, an MBA student at the University of Chicago Booth who has served as the TIKI Chief of Staff during the summer.
Diana found out about TIKI doing due diligence on us while interning at 11 Tribes Ventures, saw that we were hiring, and pitched Mike and Shane on joining the team.
The rest is history!
Join Mike and Diana as they discuss Diana’s past prior to TIKI including experiences with start-ups, VC firms and large corporations, what drew Diana to TIKI, separate occasions where Mike and Diana left their respective doors open (and didn’t get robbed, unless you count a raccoon drinking your Franzia as robbery), Diana’s role and responsibilities at TIKI, and much more!
Diana has been an awesome part of our team and Mike ends the episode with sincere appreciation for the work she’s done for TIKI.
Enjoy!
