Hi, I'm Leon and I connect between worlds.
Between business and data, complexity and clarity, ideas and action, stories and reality.Outside of work, I explore connections in my projects:
Monkey On The Move - Adventures from life, work, and travel - the kind you’d tell a friend over a beer.
Managing, Somehow. - A newsletter for new managers figuring things out as they go.
Idea to Action Studio - Helping people bring their ideas, stories, and projects to life.These projects gave life to books that you can find here.Do you like me already? Learn more about me, see what I'm working on, or let's work together.
About me
I’m a father, a storyteller, and someone who loves connecting people, ideas, and experiences. My family is my world, and much of what I do, from writing to projects and adventures, is inspired by the life we share.I enjoy traveling, hiking, bouldering, basketball, salsa dancing, and learning languages. I have moved countries a few times, walked the Camino de Santiago with my partner and our seven-month-old son, and even learned to dive without knowing how to swim. Life is full of surprises, and I try to meet them with curiosity and a sense of humor.I have always been someone who brings ideas to life and does not let them sit on a shelf. Some time ago I got fired from a job, which gave me the push to explore new ideas and start projects beyond my day job. That period helped me discover new ways to express myself through writing, books, and creative work, all alongside my full-time career. I believe that done is better than perfect and that action is the best way to learn and grow.I also believe we are all connected and that the most meaningful moments come from noticing those connections. Whether it is in my day job, my writing, or the creative projects I help others with, I try to build bridges between worlds.If you want to see these connections in action, take a look at my projects, explore my books, see how we could work together, or subscribe to Monkey On The Move to follow my writing.

Why work with me
I’ve launched personal projects under messy conditions — published a book in four months while raising a baby, moved countries, renovated my apartment with no prior experience, and kept long-term goals alive while working full-time.
I don’t sell frameworks. I help you cut through the noise, find clarity, and keep moving.
