Leonine Management LLC is a boutique consulting firm, partnering with entrepreneur owners and leaders of marketing services agencies to plan their future, and deliver on those plans. I have over 30 years of experience of agency strategy development, operations, finance, talent development…….obtained through “hands on” involvement with over 100 leading marketing services agencies around the world, from my review of many hundreds of other agencies that were offered for sale, or targeted for acquisition, and the many transactions that I have led. I have seen huge changes in the marketing services sector from new technologies, new media channels, an ever changing competitive environment for agencies, changes in talent needs, changes in client and consumer behavior, entry into and development of new markets. I have been involved in the agency responses to those changes including consolidations, reorganizations and restructures. I have a unique perspective on “what works” and “what doesn’t work”, based on experience and continuous listening and learning. Change is inevitable……..be it change that you instigate or change that you experience. Through Leonine Management, I can be your partner, mentor, advisor, counsel on how you manage that change for the benefit of your business, and for your own personal benefit. Specialties: mentoring, negotiations, acquisitions and dispositions, business planning and strategy development, financial performance optimization, succession management, incentivization, change management.
