About Leo:
Leo was born and raised in Mexico City, where his dad originally emigrated to from Spain after WW2. A passion for sports was instilled in him from a young age, playing soccer and badminton. At the age of 14, badminton became more than just a passion when he won a Jr Gold Pan Am metal for Mexico.
He got his exposure to Alkon Corporation at a young age through his father’s machine shop, which made brass components for the company. Graduating with a degree in marketing, Leo’s first job was with Alkon as a sales rep. which led him to become the West Regional Sales manager and relocate from Southern California to Fremont, OH. Leo took a break from the company to pursue his interests in Media and TV for 20 years, rejoining again in 2024.
His favorite part about working with customers is becoming that trusted source for solutions. Leo works hard to earn that trust and believes it comes with great responsibility.
“Alkon exists as a company because of their vision and culture of passion to develop great products, outstanding delivery, and industry support.”
The past few years he has parlayed his passion of badminton to playing tennis and running and enjoys spending time with his two children. When he has time to sneak away, he gets his band together, La Revancha (The Rematch), and rocks out as often as he can.
