Lindsay Gaskins doesn’t do status quo. With two decades of experience leading organizations through uncertainty and reinvention, she brings clarity, courage, and vision to moments of transformation.

She knows what it means to lead while being underestimated—and uses that insight to help others lead from a place of strength, not conformity.
From launching ventures that reimagine what’s possible to guiding organizations through the deep work of cultural change, Lindsay’s focus is unwavering: build systems that reflect our shared humanity and fuel collective progress. She’s here to do the hard work—and bring others with her.
