Through decades of experience with natural grocery retail management, national distribution, natural food brokering, owning a collaborative kitchen and beloved farm to table cafe, her love and understanding of the interconnectedness of the West Coast food ecosystem was born. 2013 was the year consulting chose Leslee when a handful of companies incubated in her shared kitchen space, needed help with sales strategies.

Leslee is an absolute dream to work with! Her approach to business advising is completely unique to any other advice I've received in the past. She brings a very diverse lens to her advising given the fact that she has SO much experience in the food industry. I also love the fact that she combines black and white data with colorful intuition when problem solving!

Leslee is a sales magician! She helped OlyKraut develop a sales plan and trained our sales director and simultaneous helped us achieve a number of goals including getting into a national distributor and participating in our first trade shows. She is also a delightful human to be around. I cannot say enough fantastic things about this woman!
