About
Hi, I’m Leeza. And, as you can probably tell from my website, I like to keep things simple. At work, that means:
- Clarifying even the most complex of problems so that every member of the team understands
- Delivering straight-forward, actionable insights that lead to high-impact decisions that visibly raise the bottom line
Outside of the office, you’ll find me fumbling through my home renovation, stockpiling strange animal facts to shoehorn into future conversations, and just generally enjoying all the little joys of the world with my dogs, Doug and Freida.
Party tricks include:
- Aforementioned animal facts
- Generally bopping about and telling bad jokes
- Guessing your MBTI type within 5 minutes of meeting you
People ask me “How do you do so much stuff?” and the answer is usually 1) I have no life, but more importantly 2) If I don’t know the answer to something, I go and find it.
