Hi, I'm Leah Lyden.

I'm a product and marketing leader with 15 years of experience building solutions that make life simpler for customers and help businesses grow. I love understanding how people make decisions and designing systems that turn insight into impact — whether expanding financial access, improving product discoverability, or making complex experiences feel intuitive.

Most recently, I led product and growth initiatives at Amazon across payments, marketplace, and compliance systems, where I learned to balance scale with customer experience and design solutions that earn trust.

I earned my MBA from Cornell University in 2020 to deepen my business analytics expertise and broaden my strategic toolkit. Before business school, I worked in investment management, where I managed the marketing technology stack and led initiatives that enabled our sales teams and improved how we delivered insights to clients. I began my career with a degree in English and Political Science from Colgate University, driven by curiosity and a love of clear communication and problem-solving.

Outside of work, I'm an avid skier, runner, and home cook. I read constantly (usually two books at once) and love experimenting — whether with recipes, creative projects, or a new way to make something work better.

If you'd like to connect, I'd love to hear from you.

Cheers,
Leah
