Les Hollander

Venture Partner

My expertise spans domestic and international growth, business transformation, and M&A. I have led teams of up to 700 and understand how to be a strategic partner to Board members, crafting business plans, fostering transformation, and optimizing performance.

Notable career achievements include spearheading a 1,900% revenue growth for Spotify (Global Head of Ad Products & Sales) over 5 years, surpassing $400M in digital revenue at Pandora (VP & Director of Sales), and driving incremental revenue growth and transformation at CBS. I was instrumental in working with senior leadership, and the investment community at Spotify and Pandora bringing them both to the public markets.

As CEO of DAX North America, a unit of Global (Europe's largest radio & outdoor group) DAX US  has achieved record growth while transforming the business into a cutting-edge digital audio network.

I hold a BA from the State University of New York at Buffalo and certifications in Advertising & Public Relations and Executive Training.
