A champion of using technology to inspire, empower, and connect people around the world, Diana Ishak brings 25 years of leadership experience and tactical decision-making to the table at some of the world’s largest companies.

She honed her leadership skills working in Lebanon, Syria, Türkiye, Jordan, Cyprus, Malta, USA, Canada, and Latin America, making her adept at navigating complex geopolitical landscapes while enabling her diverse teams to drive transformative GTM strategies globally. As Sr. Director of the Americas Global Partner Solutions Team (GTM) at Microsoft, Diana’s inclusive management style builds trust and inspires people to work together to get things done. Her approach comes from refining her previous experiences in engineering, marketing, compliance, and cloud computing with deep knowledge of the expansive Microsoft partner ecosystem. She excels at contextualizing these wildly different, equally complex knowledge bases and breaking down intricate processes into manageable, actionable steps for her teams. Diana recognizes that the freshest, most creative ideas, the ones that inspire a lightbulb-over-the-head moment, can come from anywhere. And by guiding her teams to stay laser-focused on the customer experience, she has helped build award-winning programs to develop marketing at scale across the global Microsoft channel ecosystem.#AI #Microsoft #SeniorLeadership #GlobalMarketing #Marketing #Impact #Storyteller #Technology #Voiceofthecustomer #Transformational #Inspirational #BreneBrownTrainer #SocialIntelligence
