Diego led recruitment at Avenues: The World School for eight years, overseeing recruitment of hundreds of talented educators, including around one hundred leaders, as Avenues grew from one to five campuses globally and tripled headcount. In that role, he led searches for a wide range of leadership roles across Avenues, including heads of school, division heads, directors of admissions and enrollment, and many others.

Prior to Avenues, Diego was vice president of talent at Harlem Village Academies, a five-school charter network committed to progressive education. Diego began his career as a middle school teacher in Chicago through Teach For America and also worked as a grantmaking program officer with a focus on human rights in Latin America.

In addition to conducting leadership searches through RG175, Diego's consulting practice with schools, companies and nonprofits focuses on training leaders in effective recruitment and hiring practices, selecting the right senior leaders through in-depth career history interviews, and sharpening talent strategy.

Diego holds bachelor's degrees in music and religious studies from Indiana University, and a master's in public administration from New York University. A former New Yorker, he now lives in Oaxaca, Mexico with his family.
