Our Founder

Only by being valued can we add value.

Leanne Mair

Passion. Experience. Strategy.

Leanne Mair is the founder of Benefactum, an advisory firm that helps investors and founders build organisations that last, through a gender lens.

She spent 14 years in financial services, at firms including PIMCO and BlueBay Asset Management, before moving into strategic consulting and advisory. That path means she knows both what capital expects and where growing companies fall short.

She is the author of the bestselling Closing the Gap (Bloomsbury) and a LinkedIn Top Voice for Gender Equity. She has delivered keynotes for organisations including HSBC Asset Management and has been quoted in Ignites Europe, an FT company.

Benefactum brings that investor's perspective inside the companies investment builds.
