Audrey Cunningham-Jackson

I was raised on a rural Missouri farm, where discipline, responsibility, and resilience weren’t concepts—they were daily practice. That early foundation shaped my 27-year career in Missouri state government, where I led financial operations, managed public funds, and helped translate complex policy into practical execution. Today, as co-founder of Sugar & Leather, I bring that same steady work ethic and accountability into modern leadership coaching. I help leaders build purpose-driven systems, strengthen decision-making, and create sustainable work-life balance—blending traditional operational rigor with thoughtful, AI-enabled innovation. My approach is grounded, human-centered, and built to last.
