Hi. I’m Leigh-Ann
I help leaders use tech + innovation to unlock opportunity.
My body of work leverages over 15 years of practitioner experience and my background as an attorney to explore how tech, innovation and social investment intersect to unlock opportunity.
Through a diverse portfolio of social impact ventures and initiatives, my efforts have helped unlock over $80 million to transform outcomes for individuals, organizations and communities.
I’m fortunate to have my insights and ideas featured in NY Times, Inc. Magazine, NPR, PBS, Bloomberg, the American Psychological Association, ABA Law Journal and others.
Yet, what I'm most passionate about is elevating the stories of inspiring innovators and helping leaders design solutions that accelerate equity and access for all.
As a strategic advisor, I work closely with leaders from private and public institutions, family offices and foundations to design social investment strategies that leverage tech and innovation to create more equitable and inclusive outcomes..
If this resonates with you, let's talk.
