About Diamond

Human First. Always.

A Trainer Unlike Any Other

Diamond Petty is the Founder and CEO of Humanatech, a human-centered technology education company built on one core belief: technology should serve people, not the other way around. With over 25 years of experience in training, leadership development, and community impact, she brings rare depth to every room she enters.

What makes Diamond's work distinct is not only her credentials. It is her lived experience navigating an invisible mental health diagnosis. That experience does not sit in the background. It is at the center of how she sees her participants, designs her curriculum, and champions whole-person development as essential, not optional.
