Sara Gaviser Leslie is a New York Times bestselling author, executive communications consultant, strategic translator, and storyteller. She helps individuals and organizations establish themselves as thought leaders to gain customers, build credibility, and raise their profile. Working in management consulting after college, she realized that creating bulleted PowerPoint presentations wasn’t going to hold her interest. But that first job helped her determine what she really wanted to do: study companies, business models, and industries. Sara worked as an investment analyst researching both private and public equities, telling stories about companies to portfolio managers. She covered industries from retail to telecom billing, to security software. She later worked as a case writer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business—this time writing about companies without the pressure of making stock picks. Her varied experience gives her a unique perspective. She is as adept at reading financial statements as she is at capturing customer experiences. She started a consultancy to focus full time on the work she enjoys most: helping individuals and businesses develop compelling messages and communicate their value in a variety of media be it a customer case study, presentation, keynote speech, or other deliverable. Her goal is to work with companies or individuals who want to tell personal and compelling stories. Sara's clients include Jive Software, Duarte Design, The Lean Startup, Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, Federated Media, The Aspen Institute, RelateIQ, Medallia, Lotame, and others. Sara earned an M.B.A from Columbia Business School with a concentration in finance. She earned a B.A., magna cum laude, from Wellesley College where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. As an undergraduate, her work was quoted in Professor Lee Cuba’s A Short Guide to Writing About Social Science. A Minnesota transplant, she lives in Menlo Park, California with her husband and three boys, none of whom, sadly, will attend Wellesley.
