Personal Statement: To engage in business design, one must understand all levers and pulls guiding the vessel. It is only through deep awareness that one might create a sustainable strategy for growth. Born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Lindsey is the proud daughter of retired technologists, who encouraged exploration of the arts and sciences. It is through the daily observation of her mother (who holds an undergraduate degree in early childhood education, and a Master of Business Administration degree from a top engineering school), that Lindsey identified a desire to merge what seemed to be disparate interests. In this vein, she created a future vision of herself leading change in large enterprise systems, through the employ of technological advances and strategic design, in a non-disruptive manner. Lindsey now leads in the Enterprise Commercial space, bridging her understanding of complex systems, budget constraints, broader social responsibility, and the needs of Corporate America.

At an early age, Lindsey created a future vision of herself leading change through the employ of technological advances in a non-disruptive manner.

She earned her Master of Business Administration in Management of Technology from The Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Certificate in Global Leadership from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

Having held sales and leadership positions throughout her career, with Clear Channel Communication, Johnson & Johnson, IBM, and now Microsoft; Lindsey has ascended to lead the Americas in Modern Work and Security Customer Success.

Lindsey quickly moved into the management of strategic alliances for the Eastern Region of the United States, and then to the leadership of Microsoft’s Small and Medium Education Business Unit. It is through these experiences that Lindsey has been able to strengthen her ability to develop large scale strategies for needs abatement- a skill she employs daily in her role as the leader of the Partner and Channel Ecosystem sales strategy for Microsoft’s US Education Practice.

Ultimately, her success is defined by Microsoft’s mission to empowering every person on the planet to do more, with a pivot towards a student’s ability in our national education system.
