Lesley Boyd
Lesley Boyd brings thirty years of experience in higher education executive search. Her work includes presidential and senior leadership searches at Storbeck Search, one of higher education's most respected boutique firms, where she served as a senior leader. At its core, this experience amounts to a sustained study in executive career strategy and leadership transitions.
Over decades, two truths became clear. The first was how leaders benefit from a strategic partner earlier, while they were still figuring out their next move. The second was how often newly appointed leaders were left to navigate their new roles alone.
Cultivar is the direct result of that experience.
The name is intentional. A cultivar is a plant variety selected for its particular strengths — a metaphor that applies equally to the search process and to the leaders Cultivar works with.
