Bio
Alison Cozad
I had the pleasure of working with Lindsay in several capacities. One that stands out was her project manager role in the Burrito Optimization Game project at Gurobi, where she served as the Academic Program Director. Lindsay is an exceptional leader with a strategic mindset and the ability to navigate complex situations with ease. Throughout the project, Lindsay demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities such as curiosity, empathy, and a willingness to jump in and help whenever needed. She managed multiple teams and three contractor groups, each with their own communication style and frequency, and managed to keep everyone on track and working towards a common goal. Her ability to guide these disparate groups without being overly prescriptive about how each step was done allowed for free-flowing ideas and creativity, and ultimately led to a fun, engaging project that communicated well with all stakeholders. What sets Lindsay apart is her ability to think strategically and see the big picture. She has a deep understanding of the industry and is able to identify trends and opportunities that others may overlook. Her strong collaboration skills, combined with her exceptional communication skills, make her a valuable asset to any team. I highly recommend Lindsay for any senior leadership role, as her exceptional skills and abilities are truly unmatched. Her leadership, strategic thinking, and ability to navigate complex situations would make her an exceptional addition to any team. It was a pleasure working with her and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the future.
