Consulting:

I’m an experienced business strategy consultant for startups led by women, specializing in guiding them through crucial building phases. Nimble and versatile, I offer a unique blend of strategic insight, meticulous project management, and hands-on execution tailored to each venture's specific needs.

I drive results because I'm highly aware, strategic and organized, zeroing in on achieving goals, and I efficiently and effectively run teams, projects and business units. I balance those skills with my visionary side, where the big-picture ideas and creativity really flow. In both realms, communication (written, spoken, presentations, and cross-organizational) is my core competency, along with being a master culture- and community-builder, both internally and externally.

“I was introduced to Leanne through a mentor when Aunt Flow needed help thinking through big, ambiguous projects. Leanne was able to absorb the ambiguity and distill it into bite size action steps for the team to digest. She is incredibly great at documenting work and writing plans. Leanne is phenomenally kind and understand the competing priorities of a startup. She is flexible about adjusting priorities, deadlines, and scope of work, which is critical in a fast paced environment.”
