Leo Reiff
@leoreiff
I build revenue, scalable operations, and high-performing teams across food manufacturing, hospitality, insurance, and sales.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I built Culinaire from scratch into a national food manufacturing brand through distributor and retail partnerships, achieving 50% compounded year-over-year revenue growth into the mid-seven figures. I expanded the team to 100 employees and built three manufacturing facilities while overseeing permits, contractors, architects, and cost management.
I've also founded, scaled, and sold Leo's Café & The Que Barbecue Pit. Across hospitality, food manufacturing, and client acquisition, I bring 25+ years of sales experience, P&L oversight, SOP development, training, coaching, and operational improvement.
Today, I work in life, health, and Medicare insurance, helping union members understand whole, term life, and Medicare Advantage products. I use value-based education, NEPQ sales methodology, CRM-led pipeline management, and high-impact presentations to build customer loyalty and grow results.
