STEVEN LEOF

I have 40 years Corporate & Business Development experience helping create, shape and implement growth opportunities. A trusted problem-solver with strong diagnostic skills, I’m a highly effective communicator and a connector.

Strategy | Management | Marketing

Working in multinational, multicultural environments, I’ve spent my career adding value to a range of companies from early stage to blue chip, public and privately held. I work in the Technology, Media & Telecoms, Financial Services and Not-For-Profit sectors in the UK, the US, Mexico and elsewhere.

I think big but am ever pragmatic and offer whole-brained strategic thinking and doing – with an eye for detail.

Current Activity

For many years I’ve delivered senior management and shareholders with expert and flexible support in developing international markets. I’m currently developing Alumni Extras, a new venture of my own, and serving as a Non-Executive Director of UK Friends of WashU Limited, a US-UK dual qualified charity established to raise funds for Washington University in St. Louis.

During this period, documenting scenes I’d not previously witnessed, I rediscovered my interest in street photography which continues.
