I’m Leah Farmer. I have spent most of the last 20 years building products that solve real customer problems. I have done this in the Fintech, Retail, and Healthcare spaces. I tell stories with software. Stories that delight customers and ease their way. Stories that sometimes they don’t even know they needed to hear. That is the job of a Product leader.
Currently, I lead Product, Design, and Engineering at Tourlane. At our core, we are a group of people that are united by a passion for travel, who believe that we can eliminate the hassle of planning and booking trips, while creating intercultural adventures that create a more open-hearted, respectful, and peaceful world.
This mission is the reason I wake up everyday. Because I believe travel makes us better humans. And because I believe my team is just the right group of people to make traveller dreams come true.
My Gonzaga Journey
In the fall of 2019, I decided to go on an important journey in pursuit of more skills for my own leadership. For the last 2 years I have been learning everything I can about Organizational Leadership and how to take products and teams through transformational change.
I want to enable young leaders to tell their own stories and the stories of their companies so that they can harness the power of storytelling and become world-class leaders.
This website and concept “Leadership & Storytelling” is a culmination of what I’ve learned.
