Leslie joined VEG in 2019 after working in B2C and B2B Marketing for Care.com, Ladders and TheStreet.com. Leslie loves building the VEG brand, driving growth and telling the VEGgies' stories. Leslie is from outside Philly, studied business and finance at the University of Michigan (go blue!) and joined us from her offices in New York.
