The Team

Jon McVay
Jon works with leaders who are carrying more than they should. He helps them reduce decision burden, clarify authority, and design structures that allow the organization to perform without constant intervention from the top.
Jon does not work from theory. Before founding L&J, he spent years running a civil construction firm in Alaska. He operated in high-stakes environments where poor structure was a liability. He brings that same operating discipline to his advisory work. He is based in Alaska and works with leaders across the country.
Jon lives in Alaska with his wife and two dogs.

Lori McVay
Lori is the firm’s filter. She pairs a project manager’s precision with a rare ability to see through the noise of a heavy organization. She is the partner who ensures the strategy makes it into the calendar.
Lori’s background includes decades of operating experience in service-driven organizations where accountability and follow-through matter. At L&J, she shapes how the firm thinks about structure and what sustainable leadership requires.
Lori lives and works in Alaska.
