ABOUT LEON
I've had the privilege of working on some of most consequential campaigns, enterprises and innovations of the last decade.
In 2009, whilst still at university, I started Poke, one of the UK's earliest social media marketing companies.
I then went on to co-found Crest, the award-winning digital agency. After leading the business to year-on-year growth, my shareholding was acquired in 2019.
After succesful exits from 2 x businesses, I was appointed as a chief aide to a UK Government Cabinet Minister, serving in HM Treasury.
Following this period in Westminster, I returned to the private sector, starting a geopolitical consultancy for high-innovation companies, and have served as a trusted adviser to CEOs of global businesses including Aston Martin, easyJet and Virgin Galactic.
Today, my business interests span technology, aerospace and media. Outside of running my own ventures, I am an adviser to advertising agency, M&C Saatchi and consultancy, PLMR.
I am regularly on TV screens, appearing monthly on The Context (BBC News) and Press Preview (Sky News) and have written columns for The Times, Telegraph, City AM and others.
