I’m Lesley, founder of Ardella Consulting. With over 15 years’ experience spanning start-ups, scale-ups, and global consultancies, I know how to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. I’ve led operational transformations, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 readiness projects, and built the kind of people-first cultures that drive long-term success.
