About Sandy Diao
Sandy Diao is a former Director of Growth at Descript and previously led growth teams at Meta and Pinterest, scaling products to over 200 million users. She started her career at Pinterest after cold-emailing the company while in college, abandoning her investment banking path to join the startup team. She believes growth teams should be built around proven channel fit rather than hiring generalist growth leaders preemptively, and emphasizes that good growth hypotheses require both data insights and customer context rather than purely data-driven decisions.
