As president, lead author and leader of the writing and research team, Ulli draws on his rich expertise as a former history professor, professional writer and driven entrepreneur in constantly stretching the HBS team to ensure our corporate history solutions are leading edge. A Dad of four energetic boys and husband of Sarah, Ulli is a wilderness enthusiast and insatiable road cyclist with a history of racing going back to his days growing up in Europe.
As vice president and managing editor, Sarah is the driving force behind our processes and structures. Blessed with a creative mind and great attention for detail, Sarah leads the HBS marketing and editing team with a flourish of her red pen. A former assistant librarian and children’s programmer with a B.A. in Languages and Literature, her love for working with people and telling stories is contagious. Outside of HBS, she spends her time doing what she loves best: raising four wonderful boys, spending time with family and reading anything she can get her hands on.
As our exclusive Design Partner, Creative Director and visual mastermind of Lesley Warren Design Group, Lesley guides each HBS project through the entire design process, ever thoughtful of each client’s distinct brand and unique objectives. A successful entrepreneur (she is the recipient of the Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber of Commerce 2015 Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award), Lesley leads a creative power team that shares her unwavering belief in purposeful design.
