I first met Dianna Cohen at a Create & Cultivate dinner and I was immediately drawn to her energy. She’s the founder of luxury haircare brand Crown Affair, and before that, she founded the brand marketing agency Levitate. She’s so incredibly generous and willing to jump on a phone to help you, whether you’re looking to grow as a business or as a human being.
