Julie Leonhardt
CEO

Julie brings a passion for entrepreneurship and team building to her role as CEO. Over the course of her career, Julie has been an executive leader for two of the most globally-renowned real estate brands, worked as a real estate finance attorney on Wall Street, and led teams and program development in education and healthcare-focused organizations. She also founded a real estate tech startup and understands how isolating entrepreneurship can be, and the impact organizations like Startland can have in that journey.

From her work in corporate structures, to startups and nonprofits, Julie has always maintained a focus on mentoring and empowering the people around her. She cares deeply about protecting the rights and dignity of all, especially women, the LGBTQ+ community, and those who are marginalized and traditionally underrepresented in business.

Julie’s passion for people and track record of success is fundamental to accomplishing Startland’s mission, vision and strategic initiatives.
