About Invisible Fabric

Invisible Fabric is a boutique consultancy providing research and strategy on building connective technologies and developing technology policies that maximize the public interest.

Invisible Fabric is founded by Diane Chang, a global expert who has consulted for nonprofits and companies on digital technology issues that impact democracy, human rights, and society. She is an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the Brown Institute for Media Innovation at Columbia Journalism School, a Senior Fellow at Tech Global Institute, and a fellow at Emergence Circle.

Diane has over a decade of experience as a product management leader building cutting-edge digital products that connect people to critical news and information. She was most recently Head of Product for Risk and Evaluation at Cohere, a Canadian frontier AI company that develops foundational Large Language Models and an AI agent platform for global enterprises. From 2021 to 2023, Diane led a number of trust and safety product development efforts at Meta, including empowering global users of Facebook and Instagram to safely engage on elections and civic matters, and developing capabilities to forecast online risks during societal crises. Prior to that, she launched streaming apps for AMC Networks-backed streaming services Shudder and Sundance Now on nascent device platforms like Apple TV and Roku. At the startup Flipboard, she built machine learning products to recommend high quality articles from marquee news and magazine publishers to readers, based on the topics they are most interested in.

Diane came to tech after a first career as a news producer. She covered a range of national and international news, foreign affairs, consumer safety, and investigative stories at the Nightly News, Dateline, and the Today Show at NBC News, and Bill Moyers Journal on PBS.

Diane holds a Master's in Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School, where she was a scholarship recipient from the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy, and a Bachelor’s of Arts in anthropology from Columbia University. She is fluent in Mandarin, and has language experience in French and Italian.
