Diana Levi is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Lema. Diana started her career in a whole different business. Following her studies in London, UK and Boston, Massachusetts US, in Media, TV and Marketing, she had a successful career in the TV business. In one of her travels she was fortunate enough to meet Vandana Shiva, a world renounced environmental activist and scholar and to visit with her colleagues the Navdanya seed bank in India. She knew right away that despite 2 degrees and numerous years in a whole different business, cultivations and food was where her heart was at. She has been working in the fruit business since 2009, at first organising educational growers seminars and helping set up new cultivations in Greece and later on in sales of organic Greek fresh produce. Together with Peter she realised her wish to create a company that works under the sustainability principles and ethics that she abides by.
