Bio
Lindsay Smith
Dependability, talent, and passion all come to front of mind when working with Shay. Not only is she an excellent communicator, but she approaches both problems and opportunities with a unique perspective and takes into account many different aspects at once. From DE&I to environmental awareness & sustainability initiatives and more, Shay is thoughtful in crafting her communication plans and newsletters. In my experience working with her, she consistently managed to present information in a way that was both easily digestible as well as interesting. Furthermore, the thoroughness with which she uses reflects in the high quality of her work. In addition to her own responsibilities, Shay is always willing to assist others with anything from drafting and proofreading emails, documents, and talk tracks to adding creative and friendly flares to other resources, both internal and external-facing. Working with Shay was always a positive experience as she is one of the hardest workers I know combining skill, kindness, and creativity into one amazing package. She brings positivity and encouragement to those around her, which makes her an absolute joy to work with. Anyone would be lucky to have such a dedicated professional on their team, and I hope to have the chance to collaborate with Shay again.

There’s only a certain number of people you’ll cross paths with during your career, and I consider myself so lucky that Shay was one of them. During her time at WorkTango, I had many opportunities to work closely with Shay and was always so amazed at the level of dedication and care shown in her work. It very quickly became evident that Shay has a real talent for thoughtful and effective communication at every level. Whether she was delivering newsletters to our customers or leading internal meetings to keep all members in the loop for communication updates, Shay’s positivity and enthusiasm shined through with every word. This passion carried over to her love for the environment so it’s no surprise that Shay was chosen to represent WorkTango at Vista Equity Partners’ DEI & ESG Summit where she had the opportunity to discuss the organization’s efforts to go carbon neutral. I envy each and every person that will have the opportunity to cross paths with Shay as she starts this new chapter in her career.
