Jenny Lustig is a former corporate tech recruiter. She worked at big consulting firms like McKinsey and Accenture, as well as 2 publicly traded tech companies, but she never felt fulfilled or happy with the work she was doing. So, in January 2024, she permanently gave up her 9-5 career to become a solopreneur. And she hasn’t looked back since! These days, she helps coaches grow their businesses on LinkedIn by attracting quality clients with simple systems and strategies. Whether it’s optimizing your profile, designing a compelling lead magnet, or creating a landing page that converts, she loves building lead funnels that truly help coaches go from simply surviving to thriving. Her journey from the corporate grind to running her own business has been a crazy, wild ride, but it’s one she wouldn’t trade for anything. She's also a former New Yorker now living in Florida, so if anyone knows where she can find a good bagel and schmear in the Sunshine State, please let her know!
