Why Frontrunners Development?

Developing relationships takes time, skill, and a personality that really enjoys meeting new people.
Our services
We have the relationships you need
“I always want to have someone close to me that I can borrow a million from and to whom I wouldn’t mind lending a million. That’s trust! Takes time to find and build a relationship like that, but, it’s worth it.”
–Cass Flowers
First, we know that time is something most decision-makers don’t have. Second, global relationship development requires a specific skill that only comes with experience, a heart for diversity, and a talent for seeing possibilities where others may not. Third, and most important, a genuine desire to meet and support people is what builds trust, which is what develops relationships. So, even if you had the time, would you have the rest of what you need to develop this critically important asset? We do.

Change is unthinkable until it becomes impossible and then it becomes inevitable.
Laura Liswood
The space between unthinkable and inevitable is filled with sleepless hours of anxiety and doubt, lack of funding, obsessive work schedules, and a frustrating roller coaster of wins and losses. Meanwhile, everyone’s waiting…waiting for a solution…waiting for you. You are the one who should not be waiting. Let us help by connecting you to our community of relationships where innovation and opportunity become the foundation of business that makes a difference.

Opportunity Initiator
When we see an opportunity to partner up with some of our clients or open a door to new or bigger projects for them, we take the initiative to lead. We are innovators, creating a unique idea and activating it with partners to move toward solution.
We’ve helped to start economic development and education projects in Africa and the Caribbean. We’ve partnered on healthcare projects that impacted the US and India, and we’ve instigated life-saving transporation initiatives in Africa.
Operationally Active in Crisis
We have become a “go to” resource for clients when there’s an urgent situation that needs a special resource. Resilience is a super power and only comes from the right kind of network; the kind we have that can do just about anything.

As an investor and advisor to multiple startups, I have been able to make use of the introductions brought my way by the League and am continuing to exchange business leads to move my projects toward impact. The opportunities are endless when you are working in partnership with an organization like this. I am particularly thankful for the leads that allow my companies to pivot in this time of our Covid-19 pandemic

Habit Driven
For the past 10 years I have continued to hire Mary Kurek to identify, research, and make key strategic introductions for the businesses I have started. Every engagement has paid for itself and has resulted in invaluable opportunities for my businesses. Mary is unlike no other, and her services are worth every penny.

I am deeply grateful for Mary Kurek's connection to the US Chamber of Commerce after being showcased in the Introducer. Their efforts in Re-skilling the Workforce deeply aligns with how I foresee Blockchain enabling micro-credentialing in education. In turn, I have already connected the USCOC with others in EdTech that can help them attain their vision.

Mary Kurek is the best at the "partnership" idea at a twist - - she has someone who is a Subject Matter Expert from the field her guest is in, and they can really add depth to the questions and value (hence viewership) to the podcast. If you don't know Mary, she's a real good person to know/follow.

"Oh, WOW! Thank you so much for moderating the entire session for the Science Summit UNGA79, Mary! You were incredible. I don't know what I would have done without you. Truly phenomenal. No words can describe."

"To say you are a wealth of information and great ideas is an understatement. Your thoughts and comments are not only appreciated but integral to the success of the Casa Suite project. Thank you for your invaluable contributions."

Kenwa Consulting
I had the privilege of being coached by Mary Kurek, through my business development journey. There is so much to share about my experience over the six weeks coaching programme. Mary encourages growth and learning through personalized strategies. Her relationship capital is huge; there is always someone who Mary can connect you with to advance your personal and professional development.
When she introduces the client to other guests, Mary takes the time to ensure that her client has the opportunity to speak and encourages them to participate in forums, panels discussions.
