Diana Olivia Simu
@dianaoliviasimu
I build leadership capability through executive coaching, learning design, and organizational transformation.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered 800+ hours of transformational coaching for CEOs, CTOs, founders, senior leaders, managers, and professionals navigating growth, burnout, conflict, and organizational complexity.
As Chief People Officer at 123FormBuilder, I scaled the organization from fewer than 70 to 120+ employees in under 12 months, built leadership academies and competency frameworks, and enabled eight internal promotions into leadership roles. I also improved training adoption and employee satisfaction from a roughly 70% baseline to 85–89% through measurement-led learning redesign.
Across Autoliv, Ness Digital Engineering, and consulting environments, I've built HR foundations, supported cross-cultural leadership integration, and designed learning interventions reaching 5,000+ professionals. I combine behavioral science, psychometrics, coaching, and evidence-based learning to create stronger leaders, teams, and cultures.
