Meet Leila Ortiz
Serial Entrepreneur and Business Consultant
Hi, I’m Leila Ortiz, and for nearly 15 years, I’ve been building businesses that reflect my commitment to community development, creativity, and strategic growth. From launching my first venture to scaling multiple successful brands, I’ve learned what it takes to not just survive but thrive in various industries.
I’ve always believed in the power of entrepreneurship as a vehicle for change—whether it’s creating spaces that tackle food insecurity or empowering Black entrepreneurs to build their own legacies. I approach each business with purpose, guided by a passion to uplift communities while delivering value to my customers.
As someone with hands-on experience in strategic planning, financial analysis, branding, and marketing, I’ve honed my skills to launch, grow, and scale businesses effectively. Now, I’m excited to share my expertise with other entrepreneurs and help you turn your vision into reality.
My entrepreneurial journey is diverse and rooted in creating businesses that make a difference. I’ve founded ventures across different industries, all with a common goal: to impact the world around me, foster community, and build sustainable businesses.
