About Me in 10 seconds

I love business.

I love jiu jitsu.

I speak French, Armenian, English.

I journal daily to understand myself and the world.

I care about people: my family, friends, clients, colleagues, and animals.

I can't settle for just one mission. I have many.

Maybe you can relate and we can make an impact together.

Some of The Impact I've Made So Far

"You can always count on Leon to focus on work and positive change in the office. Works hard, cares about the office and our customers and chooses to be a force of good for the team. very very very appreciated."
- Ismael Zouhair, Territory Operations Leader at Tesla

"Leon is truly exemplary going above and beyond in our mission time and time again. Leon proactively seeks opportunities to pivot based on operational demand, can be depended on for anything that comes about and oozes passion and professionalism."
- Alberto Collagrosso, Inside Sales Supervisor at Tesla

"I've made close to £15,000 in sales directly generated from Instagram - organically - since we began working together [within 30 days]. And that's starting from ZERO, no followers, no paid ads.”
- Justin Devonshire, The Transform Hub UK, now with 21 locations.

"I got 4 clients off of Instagram in the first 2 weeks... I have never signed up clients off of IG before."
- Jonathan McLernon, Head Coach at Freedom Nutrition Coaching

Select Accomplishments I'm Proud Of:

I Was A Hands-On Instagram Marketing Expert:
I ran workshops on my core Instagram strategies to entrepreneurs across 8 live events and 8 communities as a guest expert leading to significant revenue increases (some filling their high ticket bootcamps within days) and others making their first sales ever from Instagram within 7 days. Having audited over 700 accounts, I have experience in marketing to various industries.

I Built A Plant-Based Dumpling Business:
I launched a plant-based dumpling business as a ghost kitchen with my girlfriend, inspired by flavours from all around the world. Together we rolled over 12,100 dumplings by hand, from scatch over 8 months. We built a loyal fan-base of 1,390 Instagram followers organically, with 289 customers and 45 repeat customers ordering up to 5 times each, partnered with 2 distributors, optimized our manufacturing speeds and kitchen space to exceed our growing demand. We also pre-sold a week in advance consistently through Instagram and email by writing sales copy.

I Made An Impact At Tesla in Canada:
I was a consistent top performer in sales & delivery scoring above excellence consistently over 2.5 years in my bi-annual reviews, pioneered various projects in Canada: standardizing Tesla talking points for the inbound and sales teams, launched live Chat solo where I increased sales and productivity by an order of magnitude, and piloted the first location of Self-Serve Demo Drives in Quebec, mentored new hires, created new internal processes, promoted 3 times during my tenure to quality assurance and inside sales supervisor roles.
