Leigh Ann Judd is the Founder and Managing Partner of Equip Advisory, where she advises senior executives on how to win in the moments that still matter most: face to face.

In a world increasingly shaped by AI, automation, and virtual work, Leigh Ann’s work focuses on the one advantage technology cannot replicate: executive presence, in-room authority, and human influence at the highest level.

She specializes in helping leaders across global, highly complex organizations differentiate themselves through how they show up in high-stakes environments—boardrooms, investor briefings, negotiations, government meetings, and global forums, where outcomes are still decided in person.

With nearly two decades of experience at the intersection of executive communication, leadership development, and global business strategy, Leigh Ann has built a reputation for helping leaders communicate with clarity, authority, and cultural intelligence. Her work supports executives navigating growth, transformation, regulatory pressure, workforce change, and heightened public and stakeholder visibility across international markets.

Leigh Ann brings deep international experience, having worked extensively across the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Her time advising leaders in the Gulf region, one of the world’s most relationship-driven and high-context business environments, has shaped a distinctive perspective on leadership, influence, and trust at the senior level. A fluent Arabic speaker, she brings rare cultural fluency and global judgment, enabling her to advise effectively across cultures, hierarchies, and geopolitical realities.

Her advisory work spans:

• Executive presence and high-stakes communication

• Leadership influence in matrixed, multicultural organizations

• Transformation and change communication

• Board, investor, and stakeholder messaging

• Leadership acceleration for high-potential executives

Before launching Equip Advisory, Leigh Ann built her career inside global B2B, industrial, and energy-adjacent organizations, partnering directly with executive teams on growth strategy, leadership development, and communications execution across multiple international markets.

Today, she works with:

• C-suite and senior executives

• Boards and leadership teams

• Investor-backed and global organizations

• Family enterprises and industrial groups

Leigh Ann is known for her discretion, strategic precision, and commercially grounded approach, helping leaders communicate with confidence and authority when the room is real, the stakes are high, and the outcome truly matters.

She divides her work across fractional advisory engagements, leadership intensives, executive coaching, and private executive retreats, supporting leaders globally.
