LBB/Kelley Troia

Kelley Troia / Founder

A very particular point of view.

LBB is led by Kelley Troia, founder of Clandestine. It grows from the choices behind real client work and a curiosity about people who do things exceptionally well.

Before you put your name on it, ask LBB.

THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK BY CLANDESTINEPOINT OF VIEW. PEOPLE. A REASON TO CHOOSE.

Before the recommendation, the question.

Who are you bringing? What are they like? What needs to happen? A remarkable place can be the wrong choice for a particular group. The occasion matters.

Two businesses. A shared standard.

Clandestine executes high-stakes work. LBB identifies the exceptional.

LBB’s public work shares observations, reasoning and useful context. ASK LBB applies that judgment and our network to your own brief, with scope and fee agreed before work begins.

Skip the Stars. Trust the Seal.

The Seal represents judgment we are prepared to stand behind. A nomination, an evaluation stay or a sourced option is not automatically an endorsement. The basis for a recommendation should be clear.
