Meet Robin Leeds, CEO

Winning Strategies founder and CEO Robin Leeds has more than four decades of experience navigating crises, building diverse coalitions, engaging stakeholders, and solving seemingly intractable problems. She has put these skills to work as a senior White House official, a C-suite advisor for major corporations, a nationally recognized policy advocate, a leader within transformative social movements, and a central player in every Democratic nominee’s presidential campaign since 1984. She is currently on Vice President Harris’s national fundraising committee and is an appointee to the President’s Advisory Committee on the Arts (PACA).


A fierce champion for women, communities of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other underrepresented groups, Robin is an insider fighting for people who have historically been left out.
