About Leslie Simon
For more than 25 years, Leslie Simon has been a trusted partner to organizations navigating growth, transformation, and change. Before moving into recruiting and talent strategy, she spent a decade working across merchandising, product design, global licensing, and brand partnerships. That firsthand business experience shaped her understanding of what companies need from their people—and helped her discover her greatest professional passion: connecting organizations with exceptional talent and building teams that move businesses forward.
Leslie has helped organizations around the world make critical hires, strengthen leadership, and build cohesive, high-performing teams. She works with organizations of every size—from entrepreneurial businesses and growing mid-sized companies to large global brands—bringing the same personal attention and commitment to every engagement. She is known for understanding what makes an organization distinctive and recognizing the people who will genuinely thrive within its culture.
Her recruiting experience spans fashion and retail, consumer brands, financial services, professional sports, healthcare and medical devices, technology, sustainability, and emerging industries. She has recruited across functions including human resources, merchandising, design, marketing, sales, operations, supply chain, and leadership.
Beyond recruiting and talent strategy, Leslie has built and scaled university recruiting platforms, internship programs, and early-career development initiatives—creating sustainable talent pipelines that support long-term growth.
Having sat on both sides of the hiring table, Leslie understands that choosing the right person is one of the most consequential decisions an organization can make. Her approach combines deep experience, trusted relationships, modern recruiting technology, and human judgment to help organizations build teams prepared for what comes next.
