Brendan Leonard's Linkedin Analytics

As President and Chief Revenue Officer at Crews & Co., I bring 25+ years of experience in sales, marketing, and operations. My career spans leadership roles for SMBs & iconic global brands like Samsonite, Hasbro, and Fruit of the Loom, where I led growth transformations, operational turnarounds, and strategic exits. At Crews & Co., I help businesses break through plateaus and unlock new levels of performance using our proprietary Growth Method Operating System. While systems like EOS help organize the business you have, the Growth Method is designed to build the business you want—scalable, aligned, and positioned for long-term value creation. By integrating finance services and strategic planning under one roof, we equip entrepreneurs with the structure, insights, and confidence to scale with intention. I’m passionate about working alongside business owners to streamline operations, improve profitability, and chart a course toward sustainable growth.
