An outcomes-obsessed consultancy
Leadership Alliance International, Inc. (LAI) is a professional services firm that specializes in leadership development and organizational optimization. We work with a mosaic of clients from Fortune 50’s to small not-for-profits. If you’d like to hear how we’ve helped companies around the world, we’ll put you in touch with our clients.
Chief Strategy Officer, Financial Services“LAI is not interested in expedient; they’re not interested in BS. LAI is interested in what’s right.”
Others call themselves “partners.” We live it.
We don’t just “do engagements.” We view the work we do with the executives and organizations that we serve to be a true, enduring partnership; hence, the reason for the “alliance” in our name. We do what we say we will, with high quality, and we treasure our client relationships. This is why most clients have partnered with us for decades. We treasure new relationships — but only with clients who are serious about a long-term commitment. Together, we can improve business outcomes by optimizing their investment in talent and organizational health.
Office of the President, Top 50 University“They’re very high touch - very communicative.”
Chief Operating Officer, Financial Services“We’ve worked with them for so long that we view them as partners. We partner with them around leadership, talent, coaching, and feedback.”
Vice President, Top 50 University“I know they’re working with other clients, but I feel like I’m the only one.”
A business-tested, global team like no other
Our consultants were themselves successful senior executives in established and/or emerging, global enterprises – many with significant P&L responsibility and/or executive staff roles.
President, Private Equity “LAI has a unique background with large enterprises and understands performance and metrics. They’ve done it before.”
