DrupalCon Amsterdam Interview: Leslie Hawthorn

Ron Brawer

A lively LESLIE HAWTHORN (Director of Developer Relations at Elasticsearch), finds herself momentarily corralled and questioned in a corner of the RAI Convention Center.

Besides her day-job, Leslie is involved in open source security issues and, as a second calling, mentors young women on the nuances of building careers in technology.

Privately, Leslie is an avid pickler, with a cupboard stash of yummy, lacto-fermented veggies: radishes, kohlrabi, cabbage, and cucumbers.
