Leonard Yaseen

Leonard Yaseen (1912–1989) was an American entrepreneur noted for pioneering the consulting practice of site selection. His company, Fantus Corporation, was noted for providing services to clients requiring strategic locations for the construction of their factories and facilities. Under his direction, the company became the largest business consulting firm during its time. It is also considered one of the most powerful yet obscure consulting firms in American history.

Early life and education Yaseen was born on June 27, 1912, in Chicago Heights, Illinois. There is little information about his early life except for his education before his career. After obtaining his degree from the University of Illinois, he started working for the Fantus Corporation, a real estate company owned by Felix Fantus. Yaseen was married to his daughter, Helen. The company enjoyed increased clientele, who were then seeking better locations that were safe for their factories from threats of bomb attack. He died of a heart attack at the Rhode Island Hospital on October 8, 1989.
