Leslie Wallace has spent more than three decades working in credit and collections — not studying it from a distance, but inside it. She has reviewed thousands of credit reports, negotiated with lenders and collectors, navigated consumer disputes, and sat across the table from people trying to make sense of a system that often feels designed to confuse them.
She has educated communities, mentored entrepreneurs through SCORE, taught at the university level, and built financial literacy programs for organizations across the DFW region — including the NAACP and regional chambers of commerce.
Foundations was built to do what Leslie has done in person for thirty years: explain the financial system in plain language, without judgment, to people who deserve to understand it.
