Founder and CEO, Vario Philanthropy
With 15 years of experience in directing brand and philanthropic strategies across a broad range of companies, foundations, and families, Lindsay brings a creative, outside-the-box approach that is grounded in strategy and focused on achieving client results.
As Vario’s CEO, Lindsay leads market research, brand building and creative strategies, while guiding vision, business strategy and talent acquisition for the firm. She is an advocate for inspired philanthropy and passionate about the intersection of excellent communication and social change.
Lindsay is a graduate of the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. When she is not hatching an exciting client concept, she can be found running off mountains and chasing records around the world as the US national women's paragliding champion or scheming about her next adrenaline or entrepreneurial adventure.
