Testimonials
“Alison van Diggelen has worked closely with me on Forum. She is intelligent, articulate and has a knack for asking insightful questions. I know you will enjoy meeting her and hearing her interviews.”
Michael Krasny, KQED Forum Host
“Alison’s work on KQED-FM’s flagship talk show, Forum, has been characterized by attention to detail, nuanced research into the many topics we cover, timely interviews with newsmakers, and a welcome curiosity about the world in general. While we’ll miss her many talents, we wish her well in her next adventure!”
Keven Guillory KQED Forum Producer
“Alison is a rock star, she has a magnetic personality…she captured the essence of my style as a CEO better than I could have in a short biography… and has a perfect radio voice to go with it all.”
Jason Donahue, CEO Acronis Inc.
“In my professional experience of over 40 years, it has been possible for me to observe a substantial number of professionals, and Alison van Diggelen is one of the most outstanding members of that group. She is tenacious and approaches her work in a creative framework which includes attention to detail and follow-through often absent in the work of creative individuals. There is much more I could write, but much of that you would learn through a personal interview. You will be impressed with her talent, her experience, her energy and her engaging personality. ”
Dr. Richard L. Henning, Foothill College, Professor & Vice-President, Emeritus. Celebrity Forum Founder (1968)
“Her interview style was one of the best I have been subject to. She made me feel very comfortable and was able to get me to speak very freely and openly about many things, including very personal and sensitive feelings. After the interview, I remember asking myself, did she ask me any questions? because the interview flowed so well, it was more like a conversation than an interview. I could easily have spoken to her for hours, it was both entertaining and I came away learning more about myself.”
Frank Addante, CEO The Rubicon Project
