Emanuela Setterberg

Leo is the best marketing professional I have ever worked with. She is by far the most intuitive, business savvy, creative, and result focused. She can feel and understand how future trends may develop, recognizes what the luxury customer is looking for, and can articulate her opinion and thought process clearly and reasonably. She is fast paced, logical, efficient, and well organized. Her integrity and care for the brand, the company, and the team, are exemplary and inspiring. Her leadership values and style create strong and highly engaged teams. Any company would be fortunate to have her.

I worked with Leonora twice in her career to date - at Maybourne Hotel Group and One&Only. She is a consummate professional with a thorough understanding of luxury branding and marketing strategy. She is passionate about the hospitality and travel industry and will bring thoughtful strategic advice, creativity and innovation to any brand she works with. I can thoroughly recommend Leonora if you are looking to position your new brand or elevate your existing offering.
