Leslie Nunn Reed
Principal
For 30 years, I've been the person organizations call when they need someone who can see what's really happening and help them build something real.
I've worked embedded inside organizations, leading teams, navigating complexity, launching things that didn't exist before. I've also worked alongside organizations as an advisor, consultant, and strategic partner.
What I've learned: Most problems aren't what they look like on the surface. And most consultants leave before anything real comes to life.
I do it differently. I come in, diagnose what's actually going on, and stay until we've built something that works.
