Bio
Matthew Steele
I had the pleasure of working with Leif at Abbott for over 20 years. I saw his career progress rapidly into a sales management role and the success he enjoyed both as a sales representative and as a manager leading his team. Leif was able to earn the respect of his team, while at the same time being respected by the leadership team as a results oriented driver. His collaborative leadership style led to high retention rates and the performance recognition he received as an individual contributor and as a sales manager were remarkable. Leif is definitely the kind of manager I would have on my team, and would strongly recommend him for your team.

It was a great pleasure having Leif as my manager for 2 years. I mostly appreciated his business sense and ability to get things resolved quickly. He always kept our team motivated and strayed away from unnecessary distractions. I was always impressed by Leif's ability to get people on board, even people who were initially on completely different pages. He is a natural leader , who believes in unique abilities of his team' members and motivates them to grow and improve constantly. With his personality and proven record of success, he would be a great addition to any company.
