Leslie rules this agency with an iron fist and long southern drawl. She is that palatable mix of sweet and salty that’s as charming as it is effective. But she didn’t become the bossest bosswoman around from likeability alone.
Some also consider her stubborn. And she is. But stubbornness is a virtue when you stand for the right things. Leslie is fixed in her obsession with quality and excellence, inflexible when it comes to her dedication to clients’ success and steadfast in her belief in the way an agency should operate.
Graduating from The University of Texas with a BBA in Marketing, Leslie still finds it hard to believe that she and Stacey started this agency 25 years ago. Time really does fly when you’re having fun. She used to find the old ladies hysterically funny, but now she’s not sure why. Her strongest opinion is of her team, their talent, and the pride she feels in what the agency is able to accomplish.
Leslie has seven year old twin boys, a rambunctious German Shepherd and a husband that has his own business. So, yes, running Duncan/Day is a welcomed vacation—five days a week.
