Who Am I?
Lea Jovy
(pronounced Lee-UH and not Lee!)
I help founders, startups and progressive leaders go from ‘me’ to ‘we‘ – to expand beyond themselves into a scalable, sustainable business with equality as the foundational core.
Some of the things I’ve achieved in almost two decades of entrepreneurship:
- I’m currently the founder of Mission Equality (a UK-based non-profit CIC); we use education as an agent of change – for both workplaces and young people – to create a different kind of ecosystem, support people to thrive alongside AI & emerging technologies, and pave a path to equality.
- I built an 8-figure EdTech business & raised a pre-seed round of $500k in 6 weeks, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. This business was deeply committed to anti-racism and decolonising education, and grew from 2 to 30+ people within 4 months.
- Since 2005, I have built and lead several remote teams for my own solo businesses, of between 5-15 people, creating cultures based on loyalty and trust before ‘remote’ was even a thing.
- I pioneered the global, life-changing Location Independent movement (which inspired the likes of Dell to jump on the bandwagon) which garnered international press.
The kind of people I work with know that the current system isn’t broken; it’s doing exactly what it was designed to do. But to get somewhere different, we have to do things differently…
