    Julie Jakopic, President/CEO of iLead Strategies has been helping leaders succeed since she tutored her friends in math in third grade. She started her career in retail and was one of the youngest managers for Bloomingdales and Estee Lauder, while still in college. She moved to the non-profit sector, taking her private sector customer service skills to serving families at-risk and her entrepreneurial skills to building organizations. In 2003, she moved back to the private sector, as a Vice President of the Development Services Group and then as a technical director for ICF International, where she leads work with the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services.

    In 2007, she founded iLead Strategies, an organizational development firm that strengthens leadership effectiveness. By helping business, non-profit and government leaders and organizations clarify their vision and then create effective strategies and cultivate the relationships to bring that vision to life, iLead Strategies makes the seemingly impossible possible.
