LSI was founded in 1972 by Jerry Slatter along with five veterans. Slatter and his team, which included WWII veterans and Federal Government colleagues, launched LSI with a singular mission: to pioneer a new approach to business and economic development rooted in excellence, innovation, and tangible impact. After years of initial success, Sean Slatter became President and CEO of LSI in 1992 steering the organization to incredible growth for the next 30 years by expanding our offerings and increasing our reach across the US and globally. In March of 2024, Sean appointed Sarah Bertagnolli as the new President and CEO. Sarah, who had spent the past three years as the COO, had significantly improved LSI business execution and delivery. Since our beginning, LSI has influenced industries, strengthened economies, and enhanced community well-being on a global scale.
