Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 2/20/21 - Leslie Greve, CMO of BGZ (Bodyguardz)

Rick is joined by Leslie Greve or Bodyguardz this week on iHeartRadio.

BodyGuardz was just named a 2021 CES Innovation Award honoree for their new Portable 5-in-1 Emergency Hub. This is the first product in their new smart home line to launch, so they’re excited to receive this recognition from CES!

Have a listen:

The portable 5-in-1 Emergency Hub features:

Emergency Alerts - By connecting to local NOAA and other national weather alert services, users can receive critical warnings of localized environmental threats to the area both at home and on the road, even if power and cell towers are out.

Power Bank - Charges devices with a backup battery for emergency situations.

Panic Button - Sounds a 90-decibel siren and alerts loved ones that users are in an emergency situation.

Flashlight - Functions as an always-charged flashlight with three high-powered light beams to illuminate your path during power outages and other emergencies.

Nightlight - Provides ambient lighting for the key area where the device is plugged in that automatically illuminates when power is cut off.

This is the third time BodyGuardz has won the award (first in 2013 for the market’s first tempered glass screen protector and again in 2018 for their curved glass screen protector). I’d love to set up a call with BodyGuardz to talk about this latest product and what inspired its creation. Is there a time this week or next that works for you?


Leslie as Chief Marketing Officer. As CMO, her responsibilities include listening to the market and focusing on customers’ needs, setting and executing the BGZ brands global marketing strategy, and managing and developing the company’s marketing team. Greve’s new role will also generate an acceleration of tools and messaging that demonstrates the company’s forward-thinking approach to people, products and processes — ensuring their sustainability initiative and value of giving back are the driving force to do good things with the earth and the people on it.

“Leslie’s talent, experience, and deep concern for people align perfectly with our brand values. Our future continues to burn bright and Leslie’s vision will be a key contributor in our taking BGZ to the next level,” said Kirk Feller, CEO.

Greve’s passion for the fast-paced wireless industry came from its constantly evolving technology and dynamic innovation. She has propelled the BGZ team forward by utilizing and interpreting data to make sense of trends and to uncover future needs for consumers.

As the new CMO, Greve plans to unite the BGZ brands departments to speak with a singular voice for the express purpose of creating a world-class customer experience. “We will make data-based decisions which will result in customers feeling at home in our products and brands. We want them to think, ‘This is something I never knew I needed.’” Greve continued, “At a time when a lot of companies are pulling back on investments due to COVID-19, BGZ brands is doubling down on innovation, people and investments. We are planning for a bright future, with the voice of our customers woven through the fabric of what we do. We are ready to meet our consumers in fresh ways.”

Prior to joining BGZ brands in 2015, Greve grew her career in consumer packaged goods companies, working in sales, category, branding, and strategy. She spent 10 years at TESSCO Technologies where she served as Product Business Unit Leader, working with brands and retailers in wireless. She is also a regular contributor with Women in Consumer Tech, an organization where she leads a Connect Circle to empower and mentor other females advancing within the CE industry.
