Diane Trieste Named New VP of Business Development for Saltability

Saltability, a spa industry vendor that provides Himalayan salt stone treatments and products for spas, announced the addition of industry veteran Diane Trieste to its team as VP of Business Development.

A former sports massage therapist who worked with athletes at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona and the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Trieste is also a past member of the International Spa Association Board of Directors. In 2008, she became the principal of Spa Mojo LLC, a health, wellness, and spa consulting practice.

In addition to her roles at Saltability and Spa Mojo, Trieste serves on the startup executive team of the energy efficiency company Redfeather Green Energy.

“Diane’s depth of development and industry experience will be invaluable to the Saltability team,” says Ann Brown, Saltability CEO. “Her industry knowledge is incredible, and she’s well versed in design, trending, and high-end concepts. I look forward to working with her as we continue growing the business and developing new products that better serve our clients.”

Trieste’s knowledge of eco-friendly building, equipment, and operational practices—including energy efficiency, organic/fair trade products, supplies, and services—makes her an excellent fit for Saltability, who emphasizes environmental responsibility in the company’s products and services, according to Brown.
