Named one of the top innovation leaders to follow in 2019, and a Woman to Watch by 425 Magazine, you will find Lindsay at the intersection of strategy, innovation and insights where she partners with brands and organizations to craft their strategies and tell their stories while hitting stages across North America to deliver keynotes on the future of consumerism and innovation. Prior to advising, Lindsay spent six years at lululemon crafting their global growth strategy, exploring new marketplace opportunities, seeding new concepts and growing the company into the number one yoga wear player in the world.
Lindsay discovered her passion for business and entrepreneurship starting up her own apparel venture at a young age. This pursuit later took her to the angel investment arena incubating early-stage brands and then on to working in Strategy across the health and wellness, activewear, sports, technology, fin-tech & energy spaces. Lindsay’s experience includes working with both global and local brands such as lululemon, the Olympic Games, WeWork, BC Hydro, TalentLab, RAAS Market, and Elliot. Lindsay sits on the Advisory board for World Business Research and contributes to a variety of media houses and publications including Retail Executive and Innovation Leader providing global insights on the future of consumerism and innovation.
Prior to this, a lifelong love for sport transported Lindsay bi-coastal to play NCAA Division 1 volleyball for George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. A dual citizen of the US and Canada, Lindsay continues to live and breathe all that she pursues in her entrepreneurial, strategic advising and recreational pursuits. Her experiences culminate in what she refers to as her sweet spot – where strategy, innovation and insights intersect, where the rational meets the emotive, where facts meet insights and where logic meets creativity.

We are entering a new era of consumerism, one being shaped by a global pandemic. This is breeding a different type of consumer, one who’s emotions and spending habits are shifting. For the first time in a long time, we’re being asked to sit in collective stillness – to reflect, to play, to connect. This has gifted us the space to transform, to self actualize. It is the brands that serve this transformation that are outperforming their peers and will continue to thrive, giving rise to the “self-actualization economy”. In this mind-bending talk, Lindsay illuminates a growing trend, its business implications and her personal journey towards it.
