Leslie Lynn Smith didn’t envision leaving her native Detroit, MI, where she spent decades building infrastructure to support equitable entrepreneurial development. But when the opportunity arose to apply her hometown’s hard-won economic lessons to the city’s unofficial Southern cousin, Leslie not only moved to Memphis but also brought along an entire Michigander fleet, including her husband, their adult children, her father and sister, and her business partner. Now serving as the founding president and CEO of Epicenter — the nonprofit hub of the greater Memphis entrepreneurial movement — Leslie and her team increase support to businesses across industries and stages of growth to create a more successful, just and representative local economy.
