WHO WE ARE
Scott Leydin
Scott is the founder and principal consultant at Leydin Consulting Group
He has over 30 years experience leading the logistics functions of a number of iconic brands. Identifying and implementing cost reduction and process improvement opportunities was a major focus of these roles.
