Todd Lessem

Analytics / Strategy / Profitability

Hello.   I am Todd Lessem, owner and president of Diakonos Management Solutions and The Data Miners Team, LLC. In a prior life, I was a marketing executive during my 20 year career at Comcast.   

At Diakonos Management Solutions, we bring the Fortune 50 experience to the small business owner that is ready and willing to grow. We submerge ourselves into your business, walk along side both you and your teams, and build actionable strategies that we help implement.

Our focus is to help you build an organization that you are proud of. A business that operates efficiently, leverages technology the right way , and has an integrated sales and marketing machine that delivers sustainable, profitable growth. In short, we help you build a business that allows you to manage it like a Fortune 50 CEO.

When I am not helping businesses make smarter, faster business decisions with data and equipping them to grow, I am a husband to my beautiful wife, and a father to my three children. And when I have a few spare minutes, you will find me either on the soccer field as “Coach Todd” or chasing trout in a river fly-fishing.
