Carson Garrett Ledford

         A graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I am a life-long learner with a passion for innovation. Your mother or father probably used to say some version of “Turn off the lights! We aren’t powering the whole neighborhood!” That was me, but at 7 years old.

         Not much has changed, except that I’ve translated my youthful frugality into a no-waste work ethic. I center my life around wasting neither time nor resources. My passion has always been at the intersection of people and processes. “How can we make this better?” is my daily wake-up question.

         With experience in non-profits, finance, health, research, and operations/logistics, I like to have a healthy dose of too-much-going-on, while still keeping enough balance to provide genuine focus and support to each project at hand. I drink black coffee (fondly nicknamed Jet Fuel by previous coworkers) and enjoy 5 a.m. wake up calls. When I’m not busy at work, I enjoy photographing Manhattan and other parts of the world, cooking, restoring antique furniture, and trying new cocktails.  It’s going to be a pleasure working with you – drop me a line.
