MACCO Group, an award-winning, national business restructuring and financial advisory firm, is delighted to announce the notable addition of Leanna Haakons who has been named as its National Director of Business Development. In its sixth year of operation, Houston based MACCO, further solidifies its commitment to its business partners and clients by delivering top-tier business relationship and crisis communications nationwide.

"To say I am excited at having Leanna Haakons join MACCO as National Director of Business Development would be an understatement,” said MACCO’s Founder and CEO, Drew McManigle. "Leanna’s extensive financial background combined with her world class knowledge of financial marketing, relationship development, media and public relations brings a consolidated and strategic approach to how MACCO further expands its reach in the middle-market sector.”

Based on the West Coast, Leanna Haakons has been living and working in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Europe over the last 18 years. She has worked in the capital markets her entire professional career, gaining securities licensing and expertise throughout various fields of global finance and investments. Leanna has helped facilitate transactions alongside multi-billion-dollar funds, private and public companies, and brings a top-tier network of family offices, institutional funds and dealmakers to MACCO’s business development team.

Her 2018 bestselling financial literacy book, “Young, Fun, and Financially Free”, helped establish Leanna as a trusted expert and contributor to hundreds of media outlets, podcasts, and national networks including CNBC, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, NBC, and ABC, among others.

She is a Harvard educated journalist and frequent moderator, host and panelist at high-profile global conferences and gatherings on the economy, investing, crypto, and trending topics related to money and finance. “With Leanna’s leadership at the helm of MACCO’s business development, our expectation is that we will rise to the next level of achievement in providing responsive, high-touch counsel and services to our clients,” McManigle concluded.
