Wendy Leshgold is the cofounder and president of the Fast Forward Group. Prior to Fast Forward, she spent more than a decade in advertising, leading teams at Ogilvy & Mather, BBDO, and Deutsch, where she worked with brands including Apple, Kodak, IBM, Bank of America, and Mitsubishi. She experienced firsthand the challenges people face in high pressure, fast-paced corporate environments. Wendy felt compelled to help, so she launched a successful executive coaching practice. A decade later, she joined forces with her childhood friend Lisa McCarthy, who had a similar passion. Together, they designed a simple, actionable system to help people achieve success and fulfillment in their whole lives. Since 2013, Fast Forward Group’s programs and executive coaching have transformed the careers and lives of more than 100,000 professionals at leading companies, including Google, Meta, Amazon, TikTok, JPMorgan Chase and Colgate. Wendy is a highly active board member of California Environmental Voters, and she uses the 5 Power Principles to fuel that team and accelerate its mission. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, three children, and two dogs.
