Her wealth of experience played a pivotal role in seeing Glantus through its IPO and has laid the foundations for our future growth. We wish her the best in all future endeavours.

Her experience in finance roles in a multitude of sectors will prove invaluable to Glantus as the Company continues to evolve. The Board looks forward to continuing working with Diane in her new capacity.
