Quotes – LEAP Strategy Partners

I engaged LEAP to “crash test” the strategy for a young, high-growth company in our portfolio.

They met with my team, distilled our strategy, and assembled a panel of impressive CEOs with relevant experience…the result was remarkable…[they] affirmed many aspects of our plan, challenged others, and offered invaluable insights, many that can only come from someone who has sat in my chair.

I’d describe it as something like a YPO Super Forum, different from other consulting firms and a valuable new tool in any CEO’s toolkit.

We are exploring other opportunities to use LEAP in this company and other situations across our portfolio.

Having been a CEO for several companies, it’s really easy [for me] to express the value of LEAP to another CEO.

The reality is you’re [as CEO] very much alone, and the only place you can go to for help is your board or your team, and sometimes you want to have these strategic conversations with people who know where to go. You can bounce some ideas off them before you bring it in front of a board or change strategy or whatever you need to do.

The LEAP process actually creates an opportunity for you to partner with a CEO. To truly partner with them and do so in a way that allows you to deliver the straight goods and, at the end of the day, that’s really what they want to hear.

So, it’s extremely valuable and confidential, and that’s what I really love about it.
