Leslie Grandy

I am a global, first-to-market product executive and board advisor with a 20+ year career innovating and delivering billion-dollar, game-changing products, most notable among them the first Android smartphone, the T-Mobile G1, which kick-started the Android mobile revolution. I bring 20+ years of experience as a successful innovator and product executive to increase revenue and build new businesses at scale in publicly traded Fortune 500 companies - Best Buy, Discovery Communications, T-Mobile, and Apple Inc - as well as early-stage start-ups like Modwell, Kaprica Security, Zantler, Triple Squirrels and Sonar Design. I have a track record of building high-performing teams, delivering delightful user experiences, leading complex digital transformation initiatives, and introducing new technology products that bridge the physical and digital worlds, accelerate engagement, streamline business operations, and drive profitability. I most recently served as a Director, Product & Technology, in Amazon Ads, Campaign and Creative Services org. My strength as a leader is evidenced by the number of people who choose to work with me more than once, whether as a manager or an external advisor.

I have led teams across the globe working for multinational companies. I am well connected in the US technology landscape, having worked across multiple industries - retail, mobile, computer hardware, and digital media. For companies looking to expand in the US market, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience researching and understanding consumer behavior.

Despite not being a member of the organizations listed by boardio, i have a certificate in board readiness from the University of Washington Women on Boards program and graduated the Onboarding Women program run by Deloitte.
