Leslie has always called New Jersey home. She grew up here, earned her degree in Graphic Design from Montclair State University, and built a 30-year career working with some of the most well-known brands around—Ann Taylor, Limited Brands, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Party City, to name a few. While she didn’t end up using her design degree in the traditional sense, she’s spent her career designing solutions, leading teams, and tackling challenges in corporate operations.

Now, Leslie has channeled all that experience into starting her own business consulting firm, where she helps businesses thrive with creativity, strategy, and a no-nonsense approach to getting things done.

At home, Leslie is a mom to two amazing kids who keep her busy, inspired, and sometimes slightly out of breath. Her rescue dog rounds out the crew, bringing equal parts chaos and unconditional love.
