Leadership Team
Leia Mashaka, Founder, CEO
With a willingness to serve, Leia’s first business was TheResumeGeek, a career transitioning consulting company that focused on resumes, CV’s, interviewing, career transitioning and networking, that she still operates today. In such a competitive marketplace, she saw an opportunity to help qualified professionals from being overlooked based off first impression. She’s helped 100’s of clients transition into and find their dream job.
Being in the HR field for over a decade, she then realized, another underserved portion of the employee and employer eco-system was small business. Growing both profit and non-profit companies as a Director, Leia has seen the troubles small businesses faced, and created LMC for them. Realizing that small businesses cannot grow profits, focus on operations and at the same time have a first-class human resources department that can reduce the risks and challenges related to personnel, her goal was to give businesses the professionalism and support to business, who thought HR was unaffordable for their business.
“I wanted to provide a service (for those who needed it), so small and mid-sized companies didn’t have to say ‘we can’t afford HR,’ and I love seeing the turn-around of the companies, the people who work for those companies, and the owners that we partner with.”
Nile Mashaka, Co-Founder, COO
Yes, they are husband and wife…kind of cool right? Nile is our marketeer and and operational expert. Drawing from his success building small businesses and working in international business industries, it was his dream to build a business with his wife. In addition to handling our marketing and communications, he works closely, developing strategic plans with our prospective clients and building partnerships with vendors that help our clients.
“We get to do something really exciting here: create the highest level of HR small businesses cannot afford themselves. We do what we do best, so businesses can focus on what they do best.”

“I like to think I’m the type of HR professional employers love working with, and that employees enjoy engaging with. That’s not something that happens a lot in our field”
