Got a breakthrough idea that could change your industry, or maybe even the world?
Then you already know it's a tough climb. There's the skepticism, the disinterest, and the resistance from incumbents who are happy with the way things are. And overcoming all of that is hard.
You need an ally who can help you turn your bold ambition into a tangible reality. You need a champion who can help you preserve and expand your vision so it inspires and sings. You need a guide so you can build a passionate network of supporters and navigate obstacles from start to finish.
Let me help you get there.

ABOUT
Over the last 20 years, I've been working behind the scenes to help organizations bring their biggest ideas to life.
From the names in government and business, to small, driven nonprofits and innovative institutions. It's not just about growth for me; it's about stirring things up, challenging the status quo, and pushing boundaries.
“Jeff can create a concept and then make it concrete.”

“Jeff has a rare combination of gifts that weaves years of experience, razor-sharp intelligence, empathy, and the ability to provoke and instigate so that passive listeners are ready to take action. Regardless of the challenge, Leitner ignites those around him and dares them to think beyond what would otherwise seem possible.”
