Dianne Cooper, AuD, MBA, at NationsHearing Wins Silver at the 2019 Stevie® Awards for Women in Business

Dianne Cooper, Chief of Audiology and Chief Experience Officer at NationsHearing, has been named a Silver Stevie Award winner in the category of Female Executive of the Year—Consumer Services—11 to 2,500 employees, at the 16th Annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business. The Stevie Awards honors women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run—worldwide, and is hailed as the world’s premier business awards.

Dianne is an inspirational leader who is passionate about transforming the hearing healthcare industry through innovative technology and an outcomes approach to hearing loss. With a fervent passion to make a difference in the lives of those with hearing loss, Dianne works tirelessly to make a meaningful and measurable difference in the lives of members served. Throughout her career, she has helped thousands of people manage their hearing loss and achieve a better quality of life.

Dianne’s contributions have been foundational to the success of NationsHearing. She was the first employee to join the company and has been instrumental in establishing the infrastructure and business strategy. As Chief of Audiology and Chief Experience Officer, Dianne uses her clinical training and offers strategic vision to help the company increase profitability and drive growth. In August of this year, NationsHearing was ranked as the number one fastest-growing private company with revenue over $25 million by the South Florida Business Journal. Additionally, among her many accomplishments, Dianne and her team developed a treatment program that was awarded a Certificate of Validation by the Validation Institute in 2018. The validation verifies that NationsHearing’s interventions can reduce the rate of falling in a senior population and decrease costs for fall-related hospitalizations.

“Thank you, Dianne, for your lifelong passion of helping individuals and making such a positive impact in the lives of those with hearing loss,” said Glenn M. Parker, M.D., Founder and CEO at NationsHearing. “You are truly a remarkable woman and we are extremely proud of you.”

This year the Stevie Awards received more than 1,500 entries by organizations and individuals in 25 nations, for consideration in more than 90 categories including Executive of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Startup of the Year, Women Helping Women and Women-Run Workplace of the Year.
