LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Oct. 2, 2020 - Founded in 1995 by its current CEO, Lee Enterprises Consulting began as a small, boutique biodiesel consulting firm with a vision of helping create a cleaner world and more stable climate. Over the past quarter century, the group has continued to expand and has emerged as the world's largest bioeconomy consulting group, with over 150 experts worldwide, serving clients in biofuels, bio-based chemicals, feedstocks, biomaterials, synthetic biology, land & natural resource management, food & livestock production, and hemp/cannabis.

"My vision was a sustainable world for my children," says CEO Wayne Lee. "I envisioned a time when we were on a path toward a stable climate, and used the abundant natural resources, making conflicts over oil unnecessary". Lee's goal was to help commercialize environmentally friendly biotechnologies and to become a single source for investors, developers and others who shared this vision would be able to call and find the expertise for any project. It appears the group has reached that milestone.

Lee has no plans to retire, noting that he looks forward to continuing this journey as "long as he is able," and hopefully to make a difference in the world. The organization remains streamlined and efficient with COO Terry Mazanec, Strategic Advisor Dennis McGinn, EVPs Joel Stone, Doug Rives, Glenn Farris and Tad Dritz, and VPs, Susan Rupp, Mike Fatigati, Bill Hagy, Matt Gibson, and Martin Wahl, all serving to lead the hundreds of projects that the group sees each year.

"While I know that making a profit is important, it really is not my top motivating factor," says Lee. He says his real fulfillment comes from the compliments he receives about the experts of the team, the quality of the work performed, and how the group has assisted a client in reaching his or her goal or decision. "I am continually amazed at the talented experts that accept our invitation to join this group and the truly unparalleled breadth of knowledge we have available on any project. I hope I am playing a part in leaving a better world for my children - and now grandchildren."
