Kirk Drage
Co-Founder & CEO
My career has been driven by 3 keen interests; digital technology, building scalable business models and the human condition.
International leadership roles spanning Fortune 500, Silicon Valley start-ups, business development in over 20 countries, and placing investment in early-stage companies have led me to develop a passion for empowering people to start and build innovative companies.
As CEO and Senior Business Building Adviser I have worked with hundreds of startups and investors to develop and mature their abilities to build companies, create jobs, distribute wealth and generate positive social impact.
Kathryn Heaton

My passion is to help people to be successful, providing them with the resources, tools & systems to support their startup journey.
Leadership roles across Service Design, Delivery & Support in the Banking & IT Sector, plus senior international board positions have given me the knowledge & experience to mentor and guide individuals & teams. Understanding their skills, experience, and personal goals enables top performance for both our clients and our growing LeapSheep team.

My background is in Accounting and Consulting at KPMG, and in Policy and Strategy at the UK government healthcare regulator.

(Haydn) Yunqing Qi
Chief Technical Officer
I am passionate about digital technologies, coding and helping others develop high quality, high concurrency and high availability applications. With experience as a back-end developer at JD.com, an e-commerce giant, I have a thorough understanding of how to build applications at scale, which benefits my career at LeapSheep a lot.
As a Chief Technical Officer, part of my focus is to educate founders and their valuable development team members on software development best practices, to help them choose the technology stack that is right for their industries, design application architectures that meet their company’s maturity levels, and standardise their software development process, which can significantly de-risks their software development capability. Another part of my job is to prototype and build our own WebApp to help LeapSheep achieve data-driven and ROI strategies.
