Diana Moneta, Founder, CEO
30+ years in corporate due diligence, regulatory compliance, and executive vetting.
Diana began her career as an investigative journalist, developing the skills and instincts that would later define her approach to corporate investigations. Her journalistic background provides her with exceptional research abilities, critical thinking, and a talent for uncovering hidden information.
In 1995, Diana co-founded what would become Moneta Intelligence Group alongside a veteran of the industry. The conviction behind the firm was simple: that investigative work done right requires human judgment, kindness, personal accountability, and an absolute commitment to the truth.
THE DEFININING CHAPTER
In 2004, Diana faced the most difficult investigation of her career--one that was deeply personal. The outcome was clear. The firm became solely hers.
And that experience has guided Moneta ever since.
The truth matters - no matter how uncomfortable.
THE WORK THAT DRIVES HER
Diana has spent three decades in service on that principle on behalf of clients who cannot afford to be wrong about the people and entities they trust.
During the 2008 financial crisis, that work took on an urgency that was impossible to ignore.
Diana headed an investigation that brought down individuals who were systematically stealing homes from vulnerable families.
She spent the last three decades working with some of America's prominent institutions, including major law firms, financial organizations, and corporations. She founded Moneta Intelligence Group to bring a higher standard of intelligence gathering to clients who require not just information, but insight.
Diana's multidisciplinary approach draws on her connections with professionals across various fields—including law, finance, banking, journalism, and technology—providing Moneta with resources and perspectives that extend far beyond those of typical investigation firms.
