Consultants & Advisors

Diana Nikitenko

Financial Controller

My background

I was born in Sochi (a Russian famous resort) which is situated on the coast of the Black Sea. Before coming to Australia I completed two degrees, a Master in Professional Economics and a PhD in Economics. I worked at a private company in Moscow, Russia as an accountant and I have undertaken a Masters in Professional Accounting at Charles Stuart University in Sydney, Australia. I worked as a Management Accountant for two years in the dynamic Australian live-stock industry within different firms. Now I have joined Crescendo Partners as the Financial Controller.

What I enjoy about consulting

I have always had a keen interest for management and business and I feel it would be far more advantageous to dedicate my time receiving a practical insight to a well-established business throughout the world.

What I do in my free time

I love the cool mornings in the park on my bicycle, running up the hills, a late afternoon picnic or just a coffee on a Sunday morning. I enjoy meeting new people and reading philosophy, world news and history.

What attracts me to Crescendo

I have experience in management accounting work which complements a business such as Crescendo Partners. I am hoping to gain an all-round experience within the field of management consulting to understand the roles and responsibilities of consultants, which would further enhance my degree.
