President & CEO
Diana G. Haven founded Ellipses Public Relations in 2007 after a 15-year career in public relations, marketing and broadcast media. The Ellipses team specializes in the integration of public relations with strategic social media management and influencer marketing for an integrated communications approach that drives awareness, buzz and bottom line profit for their clients. Diana oversees all operations of the agency, including new business development, staffing and financials, and drives overall client strategy, direction and project management.
During her time at Ellipses, her clients have included more than 100 top-tier restaurants, hotels, chefs, events and cultural institutions. She has secured A-list, national media coverage for Ellipses’ clients in publications such as Travel + Leisure, Martha Stewart Living, Details, Food & Wine, O, The Oprah Magazine and Sunset and produced events such as San Francisco Cocktail Week and Wine Enthusiast’s Toast of the Town.

In recognition for her efforts, in 2005 she won Public Relations Leader of the Year for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company’s Western Region and the Visionary Achievement Award for Inside the Kitchen, a special event she produced benefiting Meals On Wheels. Her efforts, which included a concert series, celebrity chef and culinary classes, and an annual silent auction, contributed to significant increases in top-line revenue and international acclaim by driving annual media impressions from 600 million in 2003 to 1.2 billion in 2005.
