About

Lindsay is a creative, analytical leader for social impact and systems change initiatives who is passionate about helping organizations and institutions monitor and evaluate their impact, learn, and adapt and scale policies and strategies to achieve their goals. 

 

With 15 years of leadership in the social impact sector, she has helped organizations and institutions develop data-driven strategies and policies, evaluate progress, and use adaptive management techniques to create positive impact in some of the most challenging contexts around the globe.
