Leslie brings a wealth of relevant domain experience to Nextdoor, specifically around growing and scaling world-class companies. She currently serves on the board of both Netflix and LinkedIn, and previously spent 12 years as the Chief Marketing Officer at Netflix. Prior to that, she held positions at Amazon and Procter & Gamble.
Perhaps most importantly, Leslie is a passionate Nextdoor member in her Menlo Park neighborhood and has seen how Nextdoor can transform local communities.
“It’s rare to find a company that has such a mix of committed members, market momentum, and growth potential,” Leslie says. “I look forward to working with the board and management team to leverage this foundation and take Nextdoor to the next level.”
“Very few people have her deep understanding of consumer internet businesses.”
Nextdoor is currently being used by more than 69,000 neighborhoods across the United States, which represents more than 40% of the neighborhoods in the country. Leslie will bring her incredible background on building and growing consumer internet companies to her work at Nextdoor.
“As a co-member of the LinkedIn board, I have seen firsthand the value Leslie can bring to a company,” said David Sze, Senior Managing Partner at Greylock. “Very few people have her level of expertise and deep understanding of consumer internet businesses.”
We look forward to working with Leslie to continue our mission of bringing back a sense of community to neighborhoods across the country and around the world.
From all of us at Nextdoor, welcome to the neighborhood, Leslie!
