OUR BOLD NEW CHAPTER IS A FULL-CIRCLE STORY DECADES IN THE MAKING.
The Leadership Edge has acquired 2Connect, bringing together two industry-leading organizations shaped by a shared belief; that people power possibilities and outstanding leadership, clarity, and connection are essential to success in the life sciences and other highly technical industries.
The relationship behind this moment began 35 years ago, when Diane West became The Leadership Edge’s first employee. Ten years later, she pursued her passion for communicating with impact and founded 2Connect. As both organizations successfully evolved, that early foundation of trust, shared values, and mutual respect never faded – and a
strategic idea was formed.
This acquisition is not about changing who we are. It’s about honoring where we started, responding to the evolving needs of our clients, and intentionally building what comes next.
HOW OUR CLIENTS WILL BENEFIT
Leadership and communications go hand in hand. With the acquisition of 2Connect, The Leadership Edge expands our powerful platform of leadership and organizational development solutions to now include 2Connect’s proven communications and presentation expertise, enabling life science companies and other technical businesses to have access to a single source partner, uniquely positioned to support their companies through each stage of growth.
Clients will continue working with the same trusted teams, programs, and personalized approach they rely on today, now supported by an even broader, fully integrated portfolio of solutions. Together, our combined expertise allows us to elevate leaders, drive innovation, and power possibilities for our clients as we continue to serve as their thought partner of choice.
