Janis Dietz, Ph.D.
Upland, California

Education:

1997 Ph.D. The Claremont Graduate University, Executive Management
1984  MBA California Polytechnic University
1971  BA, English, the University of Rhode Island
Hometown: Alexandria, Virginia.
My father worked for the federal government for 30 years. I am a second generation American and am thankful for that every day. I have a sister in Pennsylvania, a brother in Ft. Lauderdale, and 3 grandnieces/nephews. Mynephew, Commander Joshua Lasky, is part of General Petreaus’s staff in
Afghanistan.
Career: I spent 17 years in the hardware/home center industry, starting with General Electrice,  after being in the grocery business for about 5 years. It was all in sales and sales management. I left Johnson&Johnson when their disposable diaper business
lost in competition with Procter&Gamble.  The last 10 years were with the Masco Corporation, which owns Delta Faucet and other leading brands.
I decided to get a Ph.D. in 1991 because of progressive multiple sclerosis.  Though I did not want to leave my wonderful career, I have found that teaching has its own benefits.  I never call myself an academic because I am a salesman whose primary responsibility is to my customers (you).

Consulting: Most of my consulting is in public speaking, sales training and customer service.  Dr. Yvonne Smith and I helped Monte Vista Water District write a strategic plan last year as part of the Center for Strategic Thinking at the University of La
Verne.
