THE 1526 FIRM™ is a multi-sector thought partnership agency built by Shaleah Laché Sutton that houses the spectrum of her expertise and ideative investments.

For more than two decades, she’s put people in rooms, spaces, and moments that challenge and expand what they can see. She’s never been totally sold on the “start here, follow this path, and you’ll get there” way of thinking. She can often see the possibility in an idea before there’s enough proof or comfort to make it feel safe. That’s where the visionaries and leaders she partners with learn to trust her thinking. And through that partnership, they begin to trust what’s unconventional. The 1526 philosophy is that sometimes abandoning what’s traditional is the only way through.

“Purposeful work doesn’t need refinement. It has an appetite for discernment.”
