ABOUT
Hi, I’m Diya—I love data, product, and everything in between. I currently work at BlackRock, where I decode risk for a living, but my heart lies in using data to build better products and sharper decisions. I wear two hats—one as a curious user, the other as a product thinker. I zoom in on pain points, then zoom out with data to fix them.
Outside of work, I geek out over D2C brands, retention curves, and really good review systems. I also love matcha, fashion, and spreadsheets.
If there’s a problem worth solving, there’s probably already a Notion doc for it.
