Ange Matthews is a results-driven leadership expert with over 25 years of experience across entrepreneurial, boutique, Big 4, and Fortune 500 organizations.

Companies of any size can use an outside expert periodically to tackle intransigent challenges. True entrepreneurial-driven, hard charging, and fast growing companies, though, require expertise at critical junctures to maintain and advance growth. For such companies, Ange is the go-to partner.

Ange cut her teeth at Williams Television Time, the DRTV industry's pioneer, and the fastest growing media buying agency of its day. She developed and led the corporate human resources function and effectively managed the company’s rapid 6-year growth. Over the next 6 years, Ange managed the explosive growth within divisions of both Ernst & Young and Pitney Bowes. Following that, she started and ran 2 companies: first MetaForce, then HR4Entrepreneurs.

Ange launched LeaderSauce in 2015 because she found the root of many company issues such as low morale, high turnover, lawsuits, apathy, and resulting client issues could have been resolved or prevented with purposeful leadership and strong managers. 

As with any really good sauce, it took time, passion, and experience to pinpoint the right mix of models, skills, coaching techniques, and tools that actually work and create the results and change that our clients love.

Russell Matthews is an operations manager who provides the support and has the tenacity to blow through obstacles and get things done.

He began his career with a boutique human resources consulting firm where he organized and managed an entire office move, wrote policy manuals, and assisted in creating employee handbooks. 

From there he followed his passion into the health and fitness space and secured a job as a health coach working for a corporate fitness startup called DRVN Unlimited. Due to his organizational skills, ability to learn quickly, and his work ethic, Russell was rapidly promoted into an operational role and managed operations as the business experienced 6x growth — from two to twelve corporate fitness centers throughout San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. Russell established operations protocols for each new facility, and managed all employees and contractors. He improved client and vendor relations, analyzed class attendance data for trends, and planned events for each facility.

During the pandemic, Russell pivoted back to consulting into a new role with LeaderSauce, where he expertly deploys his operational know-how and his love for helping others become better versions of themselves. At LeaderSauce, Russell is the “go to guy” who manages the day-to-day operations for both company and client initiatives. He built out and manages our authorized partnerships and assessment reporting systems, runs the company’s Government contracting program, nurtures client relationships and takes on whatever comes his way.
