When Reggie’s Family Lost Their Chance at Homeownership in Brooklyn—We Knew Financial Education Must Be a Human Right
Reggie saw a home slip away. Yanni grew up hearing the familiar script- get a good job, work hard, retire—but never learned the wealth-building skills that turn survival into freedom. We started The LES Group to turn those gaps into tools—budgeting, investing, planning, and coaching—so more individuals and families keep the opportunities they earn.
Our journey
Founded in 2024, The LES Group was born to bridge generational gaps in leadership, education, and economic empowerment—with practical tools people can use right now.
Co-founded by Reginald V. Bennett (Reggie)—a financial strategist shaped by Wall Street and lived experience—and Ayanna Hill-Gill (Yanni)—a nationally respected independent school leader—LES Group is minority- and women-owned, rooted in resilience, and committed to lasting impact.
