About Us Diana Jillie, President
of Executive Organizing
Consultants, has been developing organizational expertise throughout her 25-year
professional career. She is a member of NAPO, the National Association of
Professional Organizers, and is active in the local San Diego chapter. Ms. Jillie began applying her organizing skills in Andover, Massachusetts while a senior in High School. Her mission began as she set up the first ever Photography Club and darkroom at Abbot Academy. She trained others on photographic techniques, staged a photography contest, and served as photography editor of both the school paper and yearbook. In college, Ms. Jillie embraced an entrepreneurial role as a portrait photographer of fellow students. This helped finance her way through college. She continued her role as Yearbook and College Newspaper editor. The ability to sort through mounds of information, pare it down to essentials, and present the information in a meaningful and orderly way stood her in good stead for future professional roles. But sorting and weeding weren't the only organizational skills at work here. Perhaps more importantly, Ms. Jillie learned how to listen, how to ask the right questions, and how to capture the essence of the real story in people’s lives. The final step in preparation for Ms. Jillie's role as a professional organizer began in 1983. That's when she joined Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California as marketing program manager. The hours were long, the deadlines tough, but Ms. Jillie met the challenges head-on and honed her skills as she managed, developed, and delivered customer success stories in multi-media form.
