About Leslie Bradshaw 🐢

I am passionate about unlocking the potential of people, teams, and technologies to drive meaningful growth. With 20 years of experience in scaling startups, launching new ventures, growing revenues, and leading transformative projects, I bridge the gap between strategy and execution.I have led first-of-their-kind digital executions for brands like Nike, Intel, NASA, C-SPAN, and Eloqua, earning a reputation for operational excellence, creativity, and team leadership.As a classically trained social scientist from the University of Chicago, I uncover unique insights grounded in strong methods—while my experience as a 3x COO and 4x founder ensures I connect deep insights and sharp theory with practical results.You can count on me to deliver revenue outcomes through best-in-class research methods, marketing strategies, sales motions, analytical insights, cross-functional collaboration, and talent development.In my current role as VP of Growth at Pyxos, I lead GTM efforts for a groundbreaking startup delivering end-to-end automated data privacy compliance solutions. Pyxos is the first company in Saudi Arabia to offer both services and technology to help enterprises comply with the newly enacted Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). My remit includes: leading the full stack of marketing efforts, helping cultivate high-impact partnerships, uncovering key market insights, and ensuring seamless alignment between customer needs and our solutions.Previously, as an Executive in Residence at Mach49, I helped co-develop the go-to-market function for the Accelerate practice, collaborating with clients, leaders, and fellow GTM Guild members to establish methodologies, tools, and strategies for corporate innovation initiatives ready to accelerate their incubated ventures in-market. Pyxos itself was incubated during a Mach49 client project, and I’m excited to continue working alongside its founding team to scale its impact.Working with me is to know: together everyone achieves more. At the end of the day, I am all about growing big people and high-performing teams.

    Mentor Capitalist
    Turtle Academy & Ventures Sep 2006 - Present
    New York, Ny, Us
    I invest time, money, expertise, and relationships in under-represented founders and companies.--Portfolio--Venture Capitalist (investment: money, expertise, relationships): • The Next Big One• jrgn.ai• Salty• Streamlytics• High Swag Life Fashion• Farmer ChubbsMentor Capitalist (investment: expertise & relationships):• Ideally This• Estudio Zavala• NOBODY Media• Bobi NYC• Beutler Ink• U.S. State Department developing nations entrepreneurship program--Exits--• Data visualization leader InfoActive purchased by Tableau (acquired, 2014)• UK-based creative agency Knight Studios purchased by PlaySPORTS (acquired, 2017)---WHAT: TRTL (tur-tle) Ventures is a seed stage investment fund that believes it's time to get back to growing logarithmically, like nature. Long has exponential growth been heralded—but at the cost of equitable conditions in work and in life, not to mention business models that don't always yield profitability.HOW: Our slow and steady pace allows for first generation wealth builders to acquire the knowledge, network, and skills needed to found profitable businesses. In turn, our turtles deliver abundance and equity to their communities. The interplay between our School and our Fund ensures turtle seedlings are strong, nurtured, and well-fed on their journey to unlock and unleash their full selves so they may have outsized impacts in their families and communities.WHY: Long have turtles from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, rural poor, urban poor, female-identifying, and at-need communities been underserved, under-networked, and over-emotionally-taxed by a world that wasn't built for them. And what's worse, there have been multiple occasions of "Culture Vulturing" whereby ideas, demand spaces, and insights have been extracted from these communities without proper partnership and share in the upside (see especially: Fashion, Entertainment, Beauty, Personal Care, Food, and Cannabis).
