Bio
Jenna Ward
Leah is a dream manager. She gives 100% every day all day. She keeps such a high bar for everyone that works for her and spends genuine time nurturing them in their careers. She is the epitome of grace under pressure. Always remaining calm and being there for her team despite having a huge pile of work waiting for her. Even when she is super busy, she still asks what else she can take on because she always wants to continue to grow and learn. Leah is the brightest star in the sky, and I would hire her again every chance that I got.

Leah and I worked together in Ad-Ops at Yahoo!. We worked very closely together as we partnered on two of Yahoo!’s largest advertisers; Toyota and Experian. I've been in the corporate world for 15 years now and Leah is by far one of my favorite people I've ever worked with. She has an incredible energy, is positive, helpful, and is an amazing communicator. People across the company looked to her for guidance and enjoyed working with her. When I would cover for her on a piece of her business, I knew there were very large shoes to fill. Leah really raised the bar on our team for providing outstanding service to her clients. I highly recommend Leah for any company fortunate to have her on their team.
