I'm Rebecca Leppard, founder of Upgrading Women, fractional brand strategist and the person behind campaigns that landed in The Times, Politico and a $50,000 pitch win from The Firehood Angels.
I've ghostwritten for angel investors and C-suite executives.
I've helped clients publish books, win grants and build communities.
I was a COVID-era immigrant. I could not "network" my way out of obscurity during lockdown. I had two children schooling from home. My only option was to post helpful content on the Internet.
I know that women who need a personal brand the most are most likely to be overlooked – despite being exactly the women who do not the capacity to develop one. It’s for those women that I built this.
A serial founder wanted to step up her game in the investment scene. We rebuilt her content strategy, revamped her website and ghostwrote her LinkedIn page. Within a year, she had inbound partnerships, speaking invitations and a venture partnership deal secured. Now, after three years of working together, she is about to publish her second book.
A lawyer turned psychologist wrote a business book with a dream to be published by a major house. We built her personal brand from scratch for 12 months after which Wiley agreed to publish her book in the UK and the US. By launch day, her audience was there and ready to buy.
A first-time founder who had never pitched before asked me to coach her on storytelling. After I rebuilt her pitch deck, I worked with her to tell the narrative from her lived experience. She went to GITEX Africa 2025 and won an equity-free $50,000 prize.
