Rachel Lekman
I lead the commercial side of Lekman Consulting: sales and business development, partnerships and marketing, subcontractor management, and the financial administration of client and subcontractor relationships.
I bring 28 years of marketing and communications experience to the role. I started in London advertising agencies in senior project management positions, working on integrated campaigns across many sectors. After 18 years in advertising, I moved into the corporate sector as a global Marketing & Communications Manager across international industrial segments.
That background informs how we position Lekman Consulting, talk to clients, and build long-term partnerships. I am not available as a contractor: my focus is running the commercial operations of the consultancy.
