Bio
Blake Landro
I'd strongly recommend Lindsey to program/project manage on any team. She is a highly strategic problem solver, creative, organized, and deeply collaborative. Despite shifts in R&R or broader business objectives, Lindsey could quickly pivot while also maintaining structure and discipline. Lindsey could support a macro effort (cross cutting, multi-team) at the micro level (unbelievable attention to detail, documentation, etc.) in a way I've rarely seen from any individual contributor at Google. I'd be happy to chat directly with anyone considering Lindsey for opportunities on their team.

Lindsey is a special, rare, and incalculably valuable talent. She was so often referred to as "the glue that holds the team together." The superlatives for Lindsey are endless. She is a top-tier program manager - I've yet to find someone more organized, disciplined, and accountable to impact and outcomes than Lindsey in this area. She's been routinely recognized at Google as a stellar collaborator and partner within and across orgs, a crisp communicator who provides the critical clear context required in a matrixed, highly cross-functional org, and she proved time and time again her ability to deliver on programs and projects - big and small - at global scale, on the biggest stages. It was a true privilege to manage and partner with Lindsey at Google, and though it's often said, it's no truer than in Lindsey's case - any team at any company would be immediately elevated by bringing Lindsey on board.
