Leslie Ross, President & Owner

Leslie began her executive search career with Magdol & Ross’s predecessor company, Magdol & McCone, Inc., in 1989, and quickly developed key relationships with clients and candidates, driving successful business growth. As reported in The New York Times, in 1994, Leslie purchased the company and rebranded it Magdol & Ross, Inc. Leslie’s insights and breadth of experience have afforded her the ability to achieve significant success for Magdol & Ross and is passionately committed to future growth. Leslie’s other passions are her daughter, Olympic level table tennis (in her own mind that is) and the NYC’s art culture that’s a hop, skip and jump from her Upper East side apartment.
