    You can find a short biography online but it doesn’t fully convey Leesa’s dynamism and freewheeling idea generation coupled with prompt and thorough execution."

    "Leesa Soulodre is a collaborator, pioneer, and builder. She is a knowledgeable and seasoned technology entrepreneur, well-informed about her sector’s cutting-edge innovations and competitive strategy. As a collaborator, we have worked on numerous complex topics including analytics and machine learning applications for predictive software fault resolution of autonomous vehicles and digital risk transformation. Leesa continues to support me with the devil's advocacy that I need to find even greater creative solutions to very complex problems. She shows strong business and industry acumen, underwritten by a strong technical pragmatism and a unique ability in leveraging her extensive network.

    Leesa has grit, resilience, a strong curiosity and learning appetite, and a passion for human purpose! She infuses energy and performance into everything she touches. As a pioneer and builder, she is passionately committed to making a difference."

    Behind Leesa's charming and sophisticated disposition is a highly motivated, respected and exceptionally energetic professional.

     

    To me, her competitive advantage is that her decision-making and advice is generated from strong and balanced principles that consider all facets of future value, and not just short-term success at any cost."

    Alexander Post, Cofounder, and Chief Innovation Officer

    MGA Thermal

    "Leesa Soulodre works with my deep-tech start-up company, as both a mentor and Advisory Board member. During this time, the energy, knowledge, and connections that Leesa has brought to the team have been absolutely invaluable. Professionally, Leesa is the most driven individual I've ever met, with unparalleled enthusiasm and an ability to make connections. This is backed up by her deep knowledge of the global startup investment landscape, a keen mind for commercial strategy and an amazing willingness to help.

    Personally, Leesa is both easy to get along with and tenacious, continuously mentoring all members of our team and fostering a great innovative atmosphere, and never failing to bring a voice of ambition, cooperation, and confidence to the table. On both levels, I cannot speak highly of her enough."

    Rachel Hong, CEO and Cofounder, Meracle Health

    "Our one on one coaching with Leesa at the IoT Tribe Accelerator helped to propel us forward in multiple aspects of our business. Through her vast network in the Medtech space, she has connected us to relevant partners and advisors with a broad range of capabilities. She has been instrumental in helping us articulate our market entry strategy and expand our access to the European market. True to her mission of founders first, the direction she provided focused on adding value by achieving critical milestones."

    secure advanced reimbursement from the world's largest insurance network, and through he

    extensive networks, accelerated our expansion into Latin America.
