In this episode our host Edilsa Bueno, talks with Leslie Burthey.
Leslie Emmons Burthey’s journey from finance to marketing is one of self-discovery, bold pivots, and relentless curiosity. As a woman breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated fields, she was born to challenge the status quo. Leaving behind the stability of a finance career, she embraced the dynamic and data-driven world of marketing—where every challenge, from building deep customer connections to fostering a culture of experimentation, became a lesson in adaptability and leadership. She shares insights on career transitions, debunking marketing myths, and the transformative role AI plays in shaping the future of commerce.
Today, Leslie is a seasoned marketing leader with prior executive positions at companies like TeePublic, Weight Watchers, and FabFitFun. Previously she was an Investment Banking Analyst at Banc of America Securities. She holds an MBA from Stanford and a BS in Economics from Wharton.
