Lee Huffman's Businesses



Serial Entrepreneur, Corporate Leader and Board Member, Coach



The title of “Serial Entrepreneur” is given to people who have developed several businesses from the ground up. Lee Huffman, the Founder and Master Coach for Professional Development USA, LLC, is definitely a “Serial Entrepreneur”. He has over a dozen start-ups under his belt where he was a founder or co-founder and either the CEO or a VP or CxO. Although, he could also be called a “Parallel Entrepreneur” since several of his business ventures have overlapped over the years. Also, a few of these businesses were created within one of the world’s most admired companies of the 1980s and 1990s, Hewlett-Packard Company.


Here are some of the businesses that Lee founded/launched, co-founded, or significantly contributed to as a leader.
