Lesley is Float’s former Managing Editor. Her background in magazine journalism inspires her people-centric approach to SaaS content, while a stint as Editorial Lead at an agency fostered some (strong) opinions on sustainable resource management and what’s actually achievable in a work week (hint: it’s never 40 uninterrupted hours of billable client work! 😅).
