Lesley Parrott's Linkedin Analytics

Swiss Army Knife = multi-tooled; reliable utility. An intellectually curious business generalist, my cross-sectoral experience in strategic planning, corporate development, start-up/scale-up financing, go-to-market strategy and talent development provides a suite of tools to draw from in my ever expanding toolkit. Passionate about unleashing the untapped/under-recognized potential of women in the workplace, I work with organizations and entrepreneurs who are serious about gender equity. My approach is practical yet evidence-based. The journey to gender equality is a marathon, not a sprint, and we all have a role to play. Purpose-led entrepreneurs are my muse. Hearing their stories, getting curious about their 'why' and supporting them in starting/scaling up gives me energy. As an Angel Investor for early stage companies, it is my mission to get more money in the hands of founders who are capable of doing amazing things - with global impact. I tend to bet on the jockey, not on the horse.
