Many of the SatelliteGuys members noticed Leslie's absence from last night's Tech Chat and this was the reason why. Her new job will no longer be in front of the cameras or on the show floors.

Over the years Leslie has been a great friend of SatelliteGuys making various appearances at SatelliteGuys events, acting as the SatelliteGuys tour guide for Team Summit events and even acting as a co host for SatelliteGuys events such as our annual CES radio show.

Thank you Leslie for all that you have done for SatelliteGuys, we will miss your smile and kindness you have shown us over the years!
