Leland Inc.

This is Sophie.

She started college wanting to be a war photojournalist, pivoted after a DC policy internship, and chose international relations at Seton Hall to focus on real-world impact over theory. She joined Leland after hearing the culture lived up to the hype, stood out during our AI tailgate sprint, and ended up with a full-time offer.

We knew from day one she was different. We’re glad she’s here.

Weston Hansen spent his childhood in the Guatemalan jungle. 🧭

His dad runs one of the largest Mayan archaeology projects in the world — so Weston’s summers were pyramids, excavation sites, and ancient ruins.

By college, he pivoted to business.
Led a 10-person sales team to $1.4M in four months. Ran campus events for 10,000+ students.
On track to crush it in management consulting.

Pretty standard for a Leland intern.🔥

Michael wanted to work on Google Brain back in 2017. The catch: they didn’t have an internship program.

So he made one.

After a few bold emails, the MIT undergrad became one of the first AI interns there in 2017, years before ChatGPT launched.

After graduating, he joined Microsoft in AI, realized that being broad wouldn’t scale, and carved out a niche in Responsible AI, working on fairness and model evaluation. Today he’s an AI strategist at a Series B startup, helping enterprises deploy agentic systems.

Somehow, he’s also been a model. And now he’s a Leland coach, helping people reach their most ambitious goals every day.

Leland coaches really are next level 📈

Why work with one admissions consultant when you can have two on your side? 👥

Jesse and M work as a true two-coach team. They’ve quickly become a Leland staple, helping countless clients reach their loftiest goals. Here’s what one of their clients had to say:

“Working with Jesse and M was an incredible experience. Jesse spent so much time evaluating my profile, gave me a clear roadmap, and supported me through essays, interviews, and the waitlist. I couldn’t be more grateful for their guidance.”

We’re so lucky to have them on the platform!!

“Professional bassist” wasn’t on our hiring radar.
