Leslie D. Jenkins

With a strategic and layered approach, Leslie leads FXCollaborative's marketing, business development, and communications initiatives, focusing on a range of immediate pursuits and long-range business goals. With over 25 years of experience in the design and architecture industry, she has strong skills in strategic planning, pursuit strategy, marketing analytics, writing, graphics, and team and project management, and brings a holistic approach to winning work and positioning the firm.

Leslie values the creative, collaborative nature of the architecture industry. Her leadership style focuses on mentorship and finding the key strengths of each individual and team member to achieve joint success. As equally focused on the strategic direction of the firm as she is to the consistent use of Oxford commas, she thrives in the fast-paced world of competition and deadlines. Having grown up in the Midwest, she resided on the West Coast for over a decade and is now a longtime New Yorker. A love of people and travel has inspired her to absorb as much culture, art, architecture, and food as she can in the 40+ countries she has explored.
