Leslie Martinich, a computer scientist who began her journey writing compilers, operating systems, and advanced communication software, led her team to deliver ground-breaking technology allowing developers to create parallel and distributed programs through Remote Procedure Calls (RPC).

In the middle of her career, she made a pivotal realization: project failures weren't due to technical hurdles, but rather rooted in managerial and leadership challenges. Determined to rectify this deficiency, she built leadership programs which she presented across 6 continents (sorry, Antarctica!), focused on innovation and preparing effective leaders. Her enthusiasm lies in instilling engaged leadership skills that resonate with the aspirations of today's young tech professionals and entrepreneurs.

Leslie is more than just a leader in tech; she's a catalyst for change. From sparking innovation to nurturing teamwork, Leslie's mission is to empower organizations to go beyond delivering products. Her guiding principle? Engaged leaders inspire teams, reduce turnover, and drive towards excellence in quality. Join her on a journey that's not just about quick fixes but about inspiring and helping leaders to become the influential change-makers of tomorrow.
