Katie Leonard: Strategist
Slate Seven sprang from a singular vision: to shake up the consulting scene with a refreshing twist tailored to startups and small businesses. This vision was born out of a desire/need to have a consulting business like Slate Seven when I was first starting out in business.
Startups and small businesses generally do not have the capital to spend on high-priced consultants, which leaves entrepreneurs and small business owners to fend for themselves. Slate Seven fills this gap by providing an avenue for those seeking growth and scale and desire to circumvent the pitfalls of small businesses in the first three years.
With 15 years of diverse experience spanning the public, non-profit, and dynamic industry sectors—ranging from information technology to urban planning, public health, and emerging technologies—I stand poised to be your strategic partner in navigating the treacherous waters of early-stage business growth.
"I didn't learn how to be a business owner until after my first year in business (and after many failures). I work with founders to develop the mindset needed to be successful in business and formulate business strategies out of what may look and feel like chaos."
What clients are saying:
“Katie is a phenomenal business coach and mentor. She leverages her success as a business owner to provide guidance that is relevant, timely, and impactful. Her coaching has helped me take my business to the next level.”
