Diana Silva ("Mole Mama")

From her humble dairy farm childhood to Author, Silicon Valley Tech Executive, Blogger, Vlogger, Podcaster, and Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games competitor, Diana's guilty of using delicious homecooked food to connect with friends, family, employees, and strangers! Cooking for others is her love language, and if you've been in her inner circle or worked with her, you've most likely tasted her salsa, guacamole, tacos, queso fundido, mole, enchiladas, Spanish rice, and chocolate cupcakes, fondly referred to as crack cakes because you can't have just one! She believes home-cooked food can break down cultural and generational barriers, create a sense of belonging amongst co-workers, and create real, meaningful connections and magic! During her Silicon Valley Executive tenure, Diana has cooked countless meals for her employees during all-night complex tech launches, hosted numerous potlucks, had less than 5%employee attrition, repeatedly exceeded sales and growth targets by double-digits, and had many employees follow her from company to company. She attributes her success as a manager and business owner to her rich Mexican heritage, her mother's delicious recipes, her listening skills, and her ability to inspire others to soar at the office or in their kitchens!
