I’ve had the pleasure to work with Leyre twice in my career; once when I was her client, and then when she was mine. On both occasions I have found in Leyre an incredible business partner who is knowledgeable and passionate about building the most successful partnership possible. Leyre is able to identify new business opportunities and successfully capitalise on them. Leyre’s excellent attention to detail also means she is able to coordinate simultaneous account activities without ever losing momentum. She is highly adaptable, driven, results orientated and a valuable member of any team she is a part of.

I had the pleasure of working with Leyre for two years and was always impressed with her consistently positive approach to team management, strategy, and innovation. Her keen attention to detail and superb managerial skills allowed me to grow within my profession. Leyre’s dedication, knowledge, and expertise in driving the business forward by finding innovative ways to deliver results to her clients is a valuable asset to any organization that she is part of.
