Leigh Mitchell is the Founder of Women in Biz Network and Her Community Inc. As the head "Marketing Maven" she specializes in a niche near and dear to her heart – marketing to women. Leigh has successfully worked with major brands such as GM Canada, Johnson & Johnson, Maple Leaf Foods, HP Canada, Kobo and Random House, just to name a few. Her Community Inc. develops blogger outreach programs and customized marketing activations. Leigh also connects, trains and empowers women entrepreneurs through the WIBN online and in-person community in Toronto and Vancouver. Women in Biz Network provides business memberships, events, conferences and online webinar training.
Leigh discovered entrepreneurship when she was 12 years old. However, wanting "job security" she decided to settle into the security of a career in health promotion marketing. Leigh spent 15 glorious years (not knowing how glorious it was until starting her own business) working in various government marketing positions managing health and community service marketing campaigns. It was while on maternity leave that she discovered that perhaps it was time to reconnect with her earliest passions.
After many online conversations with women on Twitter she decided to take the relationships online to the next level with in person workshops for professional and entrepreneurial women.
