In June 2025, Diane Spaeth joined Schmocker Financial Services as Director of Continuous Improvement after having spent two decades as an educator, then transitioning into the manufacturing sector where she spent 11 years leading projects in the Continuous Improvement arena where her work centered on enhancing process efficiency, reducing waste, and fostering a culture of client-focused innovation and growth. Diane is passionate about empowering organizations to evolve through thoughtful, collaborative change and continuous learning.
In her current role, she partners with the Financial Advisor leadership team to facilitate strategic business model planning and execution, process optimization, and team development. Her cross-sector experience and tactical-thinking approach bring a fresh perspective to financial services operations, helping the team align functional practices with long-term growth objectives to best serve our Clients.
Diane, a Sparta native who has spent her career in the Milwaukee area, returned to be close to her large extended family and her three adult children who have also found the Driftless Region the place to call home. She enjoys spending time outdoors: on the river, on the hiking and biking trails, in her peaceful back yard, and playing with her loveable grand dogs.
