Minerva Imagines was formed in 2017 by Leasil Burrow. Leasil and her handpicked team have worked with clients in the UK, Europe, Australia, North America and Asia.  

Our clients come from all types of industries with all levels of maturity.  We have worked with start-ups and junior executives as well as CEOs, board chairs and long-established blue-chip organisations.  We’ve worked with singleton clients, small teams, large teams and have also provided pan-organisation learning solutions.

“People always ask me why I chose the name Minerva Imagines… Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategy.  I think the combination of wisdom, strategy and a bit of imagination can make magic happen.  Yes, I know the Greeks suggested she was into warfare but I am going with the Roman version, all about the arts, commerce, medicine and poetry.  Good work, Minerva! “
