Description

Leslie Manookian, MBA, M.L.C. Hom, is the president and founder of the Health Freedom Defense Fund and a former Wall Street executive. Her finance career took her from New York to London with Goldman Sachs before she became Director at Alliance Capital, overseeing European Growth Portfolio Management and Research.

Leslie is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker. In 2011, she wrote and produced The Greater Good, a critically acclaimed film exploring the vaccine debate and sparking wider conversation about medical choice and personal liberty.
