She has lived her life challenging what others thought impossible, whether that was to live a year with no single-use plastics, prepare for a fully-sustainable one-way mission to Mars, choosing to circumnavigate our planet to help protect our oceans – our future, cycle extreme distances, sail gale storms in a tall ship in the Southern Ocean or biohack her body and mind to become Dianne 2.0. Dianne is nothing if not resilient!

In her role at Fight Food Waste Limited, Dianne has managed a range of transformative environmental programs and projects, from packaging, supply chain efficiencies, circular economy solutions, food rescue, industry education and whole-of-sector waste minimisation initiatives.
