During the 2013 Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities Convention and Exposition, Career College Central Editor Kevin Kuzma visited with a number of sector leaders at the magazine's booth space. One interview subject was particularly easy to find -- a recent addition to the Career College Central team, Joe Leonhardt.

In May, Leonhardt joined the editorial staff of Career College Central as Director of New Business Development. A long-time, executive-level leader in higher education and sales management, Leonhardt has built a reputation as a team turn-around specialist, motivator and a developer of aspiring leaders across the country. With more than 20 years of higher education and sales experience, Leonhardt is a long-time public speaker and has written extensively about college admissions and leadership, including a book he authored in 2012, Mpact: Stepping-Stones for Aspiring Leaders Making the Climb. He most recently served as President and Co-Founder of MPACT Group Inc., a progressive consulting, training and higher education services company located in Denver, Co.
