For fifteen years, she served as Curator of the Wieland Collection. In that role she built the collection through acquisitions of national and international artists, wrote and published a 350-page catalog, handled the database and maintenance of the artwork and designed the installation of the collection in the wareHOUSE, a 20,000 sq. foot exhibition space.
Prior to that, Cochran worked at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and the Jack Tilton Gallery in New York. She also served as Interim Director of the Atlanta College of Art Gallery. She has organized numerous exhibitions including Art at the Edge: Social Turf at the High Museum of Art; Genevieve Arnold: A Retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia; and Radcliffe Bailey: Spiritual Migration and Vik Muniz: Reparté at the Atlanta College of Art Gallery.

Lei Redding is a personal property & casualty insurance advisor specializing in risk management for high net-worth and ultra-high net-worth individuals and families. Her company, Redding Private Client, LLC is based in Atlanta, Georgia and serves clients around the country.
After starting her career in commercial property & casualty insurance, Lei realized the business owners and executives she was working with did not have access to the same level of advice or service for their personal risk management as they did through their businesses. She found that many of the clients had neglected their personal protection while they focused on their companies.
As a former business owner herself, Lei realized that the need for concierge-level service for clients who lead busy lives and don’t have time to manage their own risks. After working with both local and national brokers, Lei formed a boutique firm which has access to the resources of a nation broker with the hands-on touch of a local agency.
