DIANKHA’S BIO
Diankha Linear is one of the few women in America, let alone African American Women, to both lead a VC-backed company and raise tens of millions of growth capital for it. But what led her here started in a Seattle community center followed by an incredible career which includes 16 years of United States Army service, part of it, as a Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps - Captain (Airborne). Diankha currently serves as the President & Chief Executive Officer at Community.com, preceded by being the company’s COO. Prior to that she worked as General Counsel & Corporate Secretary at Convoy, Inc. She also serves on the board of, incoming Chairwoman, Swedish Health Services, one of the largest community focused healthcare provider systems in the country. On February 2024 she was appointed to the board of directors of Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN).
Before her leadership, tech and entrepreneurial journey she served as the Senior Director in the Legal Department at Nordstrom, Director in the Legal Department, at Expeditors, Senior Attorney at the U.S. Department of Education, Senior Associate in General Commercial Litigation at Cairncross & Hempelmann, and as JAG in the US Army Reserve. Diankha’s foundational years were spent as a lawyer focused on commercial litigation, employment, and antitrust at Perkins Coie LLP. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Military Science from the University of Washington and a JD from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.
