my story
Hi, I’m Elena — founder of Lean Edge.
With over a decade in manufacturing, I’ve been on the floor, led teams, and lived the grind — from Operator to Operational Excellence Leader. I built Lean Edge to bring real, practical Lean to companies like yours.
What makes us different?
We don’t just teach Lean — we’ve lived it.
I’m a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt who’s passionate about solving root problems, not symptoms. No band-aids. Just hands-on, people-first solutions that actually stick.
My sessions are not lectures — they’re energizing, interactive, and built for the real world.
If you want continuous improvement that feels doable, energizing, and real — welcome to Lean Edge.
