“Leslie and I worked together both as IC peers, and as manager / IC. She is miraculously one of the most talented individuals I’ve ever worked with in either capacity. As engineering peers, we worked together to grow the engineering approach and culture in Netlify’s fledgling Growth team. Her instincts in balancing quality and velocity in shipping is unmatched. She is an amazing cross-disciplinary collaborator, deftly parsing ambiguous requirements and situations into clear actions, with dependable follow-through. She has an uncanny natural ability to distill chaos into order. She is strategically process-oriented, always looking for ways to improve both technical and organizational systems, discarding what doesn’t work and building on what does. Her skill in these domains translated seamlessly into engineering management, making her one of the most effective engineering managers I’ve ever seen, right off the bat, because realistically she was already building those muscles during her time as an IC. She is a patient and empathetic peer and leader, and singularly kind-hearted and welcoming. Leslie is probably the most versatile and well-rounded individual I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from her, and I dearly hope our paths cross professionally again.”
