About Me.
I’m Kelly Schneider Lees - growth advisor, executive coach, and educator.
My career has spanned leadership roles with Nike, Microsoft, AOL, Dr. Martens, and Meri Meri, alongside advisory work with startups, scale-ups, and private equity-backed businesses focused on growth and value creation.
I have worked with hundreds of senior executives leading programs with Wharton Executive Education, Cambridge Judge Business School, and Imperial College Business School.
My work sits at the intersection of commercial strategy, leadership, innovation, and execution.
Clients value my ability to challenge assumptions, identify opportunities others miss, and translate strategy into practical action.

Today, I help leaders and organisations grow revenue, strengthen capability, and prepare for what’s next.
