ABOUT JESSE LEON

I’m a global keynote speaker, award-winning author of I’m Not Broken and No Estoy Roto, and advisor helping leaders and institutions navigate complexity with clarity, empathy, and aligned purpose.My work bridges lived experience with cross-sector leadership across government, philanthropy, housing, education, and the private sector. As President of Alliance Way, I’ve advised philanthropic institutions—including the Walton Family Foundation, the Gates Foundation, and the Humboldt Area Foundation—on grantmaking, impact investing, and portfolio strategy.Building on more than 20 years of cross-sector experience, I’ve supported the development of more than units of affordable and mixed-income housing and managed over $2 billion in public and private place-based investments and grantmaking. I work in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.If you’re planning an upcoming event or initiative and looking for a speaker or strategic partner, I welcome the conversation.
