Helping Visionary Leaders Turn Challenges into Growth Opportunities.
My name is Leo Welder, and I’m a 3-Time Co-founder and business operator with nearly 20 years of leadership in fast growing businesses. I’ve served in virtually every leadership role, but my expertise is in data driven decision making, problem solving, and process creation. In 2023, I started putting my experience to use helping other business leaders through LJW3 Consulting, and it has been an incredibly rewarding new journey.
If these Issues hit a little too close to home, we should talk…
White Knuckling Tasks
Members of the Leadership Team are stuck handling tasks outside their core competencies.
Unclear how to finance growth
You’re weighing financing options like raising equity, taking on bank or private debt, or applying for grants.
Insufficient Processes
You know the company needs better processes, but struggle to make them a priority.
New Business Opportunities
You see multiple growth opportunities but are struggling to choose and execute the right strategy.
Wrong People
As you’ve grown, some of your legacy team members and service providers are hindering your growth.
Financially murky
Your financial data lacks detail to accurately assess the profitability of specific business lines or customers.
"Leo brought humanity, compassion, humor, insight, and commiseration into the daunting task of growing a business as a new leader. Not just simplifying complex systems into understandable processes with actionable metrics, Leo's experience means he almost always has an example of a time, as a leader, that he has faced similar challenges and can offer his narratives as fables you can choose to learn and grow from as you see fit. Leo helped guide not just me, but our entire organization through that uncertainty into a new chapter. I can't promise Leo is the silver bullet for your organization, but I can tell you he has been for ours!"
-Dave Carapetyan, CEO, Rally Ready Driving School

My Experience is my product
How I work
Two-way Evaluation
Every engagement starts with a bidirectional evaluation. During this meeting, we’ll get to know each other, and we’ll go through a list of questions that will help me understand how I can help you.
Proposal
After we meet, I’ll put together a tightly scoped proposal, focusing on quick wins first. This allows me to add significant value quickly and will be low risk to you.
Execution
Once we agree on the terms of the proposal, I will begin to execute immediately. I will stay in close contact through the engagement, and make sure we stay on the same page throughout the process.
