Partner & Co-founder

Working with Leandro was an extraordinary pleasure. His strategic insight powerfully moved the needle forward for my organization. After a thoughtful intake conversation where Leandro presented several compelling options, we agreed Leandro would guide us in building a 2-3 year strategic plan to help our organization diversify its funding sources and build the infrastructure to sustainably grow to scale. In the process of working together to that end, Leandro also masterfully guided me to better articulate our organization’s mission, vision, and goals. He then delivered a thorough, concise, and actionable working document that articulated three core strategic priorities and outlined tangible steps to reach them. Our organization is better positioned to make an impact thanks to Leandro, and I felt completely supported each step of the way – I can’t wait to hire him again!
