ABOUT LEE

With broad and deep global industry experience, Lee is uniquely qualified to bring cross-industry solutions to complex problems.

Lee is the author of Manage Globally Sell Locally, a book based on his experience as one of the prime architects and implementers of the Hewlett-Packard Global Accounts Program.Ā  Blackstone + Cullen was founded in 1989 and focuses on solutions for managing large global account relationships.Ā  Asking what you sold in Atlanta last week is simple, but when your CEO asks, ā€œWhat’s going on at Exxon?ā€Ā  That is a different class of question, and management across 200 countries in 24 time zones is a bit daunting. Blackstone + Cullen works with clients every day to deliver a sustained competitive advantage in their market.Ā Ā 

Being an Atlanta native is rare in business. Being a product of the Atlanta Public Schools and Georgia Tech has served him well.Ā  He has served on several boards during his career and has a driving passion for gifted education.Ā
