Diana Westrich

I’m a strategic HR leader with over 10 years of broad experience in the DAX environment, combining expertise in M&A, restructuring, and employment law, HR strategy, leadership development and culture transformation. As a fully qualified lawyer and trained journalist, I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective to complex business challenges. Throughout my career, I’ve led organizational transformation, driven performance improvement, and shaped leadership development across industries – from global law firms to the chemical sector. I’m known for my decisiveness, solution orientation, optimism and resilience, and for the ability to energize teams, especially in times of change. I act as a trusted advisor to Executive Boards and senior leaders, bridging strategic vision with operational execution. I build strong stakeholder alliances and communicate with clarity and impact – whether on stage or behind the scenes. My doctoral thesis on supply chain compliance was published years ahead of regulatory trends – reflecting my ability to anticipate change and shape the future of work with insight, integrity, and energy.
