Impact Area: Governance and Administration
Location: Cape Town
Dianne Richards is enthusiastic about helping organisations thrive through stronger governance and effective human resources planning to create meaningful impact.
She is academically qualified in the fields of Human Resources, Education, Training and Development, Financial Planning and Community Development and has spent 25 years gaining practical experience in operations management, project execution, financial planning, training, corporate governance and social investment. Dianne has worked in both the corporate and non-profit sectors and helped shape and implement strategy, build stakeholder relationships, and manage projects that empower communities and fuel entrepreneurship.
Dianne also enjoys supporting individuals to live their best lives, and this includes a focus on financial coaching. With her background and experience in financial planning, she is a strong supporter of initiatives that promote financial literacy, particularly among the youth.
When Dianne is not working, she enjoys reading, dabbling in arts and crafts and spending time with her husband and two fur babies.
With my background in financial planning, I have seen firsthand the negative impact on people’s lives when they are not financially literate and investment savvy. I was drawn to work with the LL team because they focus on youth development with an emphasis on improving financial literacy among the youth. The opportunity to be a part of this powerful initiative appealed to me.
