Based in Greater Cincinnati and led by President and CEO, Jennifer Gessner, LEDA maximizes project management value through a commitment to execution with a focus on efficiency and results at an appropriate level of investment.

"Having led construction projects on both the client and contractor sides, I see an unmet need for a woman-owned business to add value through project leadership and execution.  Out of that need, LEDA was born.  I’m excited to bring my knowledge and experience to better your projects and deliver value to your client.  I look forward to partnering with you!"

TESTIMONIALS

 "In my former role as SVP, Planning and Business Development at Cincinnati Children’s, I worked with Jennifer since 2008 and have seen her quickly rise to increasing levels of responsibility and accountability in project management and problem solving, first as an employee and then in her successful private sector career. She excels in communication and coordination among multiple levels from executives to end users and from owners to subcontractors. She is uniquely skilled in problem solving and listening to develop concrete plans from verbal requests that provide recommendations to leadership balancing constituency and organizational needs. Her positive approach leads to being nimble, timely, and a very professional representative for any organization. Above all, she never forgets that her focus is to get the project done.” 

Dee Ellingwood, Medical Industry Executive

"Jennifer was a key team member of mine for approximately 3 years while she was with Varian. Jennifer didn't have a background in Radiation Therapy or Engineering when she joined my team but was an extremely fast learner and was able to very quickly add value to our team and advance within Varian. Within a few months of being on the team, Jennifer was able to master many details and create optimized work processes that led to significant cost reduction in the areas of large equipment installation. Along with this; Jennifer showed enormous initiative and drive by agreeing to be the team lead for ISO 13485 standards for medical technology which lead to successful completion of quality audits at various project sites."

"Jennifer combines a high level of project management knowledge, a great attitude, and a strong ability to work with diverse teams in order to deliver successfully on projects ahead of time and under budget. I highly recommend Jennifer and very much hope to work with her again in the future."

Brendan Lyden, Senior Project Management Executive

"I recently purchased my own company and contacted Jenn to design my new office space.  She was very professional, listened to my needs and provided a solution that was both functional and within my budget.  Jenn was knowledgeable, her communication was timely and the end result was on point.  I enjoyed working with Jenn and highly recommend her to anyone."

EXPERIENCED. PROVEN. READY. 

Jennifer has experience leading design, construction, and space management projects for many high profile clients including Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Varian Medical Systems, Procter & Gamble, and Messer Construction.

LEDA's number one goal is to bring value to contractors and owners engaged in commercial construction through project management solutions.  LEDA is a company that creates the opportunity to develop a preferred relationship to improve WBE credit while gaining value-add project management solutions. While our aim is to support you in your WBE spend with clients who find associated value, that does not define us - we will add value to your projects regardless of WBE spend factor. We allow you, as a company, to more aggressively bid projects while maintaining your margins through efficient allocation of project responsibilities.
