👋 Hey It's LEO! 🦁
I’m a Fractional Chief of Staff & Head of Strategy/Operations for Early & Growth Stage Startups and Founders
🤔 How Can I Help?
I hold a Master's in Chemical / Bio Engineering, a Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma, a Project Management Professional Certificate, and your hand as you BUIDL
As a Senior Product Manager in Advertisement Technology, I’ve shipped 0→1 platforms, scaled SDKs to $100M+ lines of business, and driven millions in client revenue through data products, growth experimentation, and automation. I was the 3rd PM on the Granify team pre-acquisition.
Alongside that, I co-founded JSTDRMN, a Toronto music collective that grew from a WhatsApp group into a full ecosystem: shows, bootcamps, label, merch, and a 250+ member Discord community, generating $90k+ revenue over 3 years.
I know the founder journey firsthand: starting as the builder doing everything, then becoming the strategist codifying brand and systems, and now operating as the coach/CEO shaping equity, culture, and financial sustainability. I do:
My approach is ecosystem-first: helping founders build flywheels that compound (product, marketing, community, ops), so when you scale, you scale sustainably — without burning out your team or breaking your culture.
