Leslie Kaufman

I bring three decades of HR and leadership experience in the biopharmaceutical arena, where I've seen firsthand what it takes to succeed. My coaching blends data-driven insights from psychometric assessments (Hogan, EQ-i 2.0, Predictive Index) with real-world experience. I'm passionate about helping leaders like you navigate complex organizational dynamics, enhance cross-functional collaboration (R&D, Finance, Legal, IT, Commercial), and accelerate their impact. My approach is pragmatic, business-focused, and rooted in organizational psychology and accountability. Let's work together to transform your challenges into opportunities for growth and achievement.

My background as an HR leader at TESARO (GSK), Syros Pharmaceuticals, Millennium Pharmaceuticals (Takeda) and The Medicines Company, combined with consulting experience at Arthur D. Little, gives me a unique perspective on the challenges you face. I understand the pressures of fast-paced environments and the importance of adaptability. I'm here to provide the structured support and guidance you need to thrive. Think of me as your trusted advisor, your accountability partner, and your champion for success.

Beyond the boardroom, I embrace practical problem-solving and the outdoors. Whether it's tending to my hens or skiing in the White Mountains, I believe in a balanced and purposeful life. This perspective informs my coaching, helping you to integrate your personal values with your professional goals.
