Alex Diamant
Operations and Outreach Administrator
Alexandra Faye Diamant spearheads logistics for center events and educational offerings, develops partnerships, and liaises with center affiliates. She has over 25 years of hospitality experience, starting as a hotelier while simultaneously studying Biological Anthropology at Rutgers University. She managed the front office at a luxury hotel, The Vintage Inn in Yountville, CA, between 2007 and 2017, then ran events and administrative operations for the Berkeley Center for Law and Business at Berkeley Law from 2017 to 2021, including the FORM+FUND Workshops for Berkeley-affiliated founders, the Leadership Lunch Talks for JD and LL.M. students, and the Independent Board Directors Initiative, a two-day intensive for aspiring corporate board members.
In 2021, Alexandra pivoted to become the Marketing and Client Development Specialist for UC Berkeley Law Executive Education, where she oversaw marketing, sales, and business development functions. With TCIP, Alexandra is thrilled to return to her hospitality roots, hosting center programs.
