About Caitlin Lindman

I love people, and I will never stop being curious about what inspires others. It’s why I’m so passionate about making quality products.What I\'ve learned in my career so far is that compassionate and empathetic consumer first design is the way of the future. When we appeal to the humanity of customers, we are able to create solutions that target real needs. In each role I’ve had, from sales to product marketing, understanding people first has always proven to be a key to success.Along the way, I’ve also learned empathy doesn’t just apply to consumer products. Empathetic leadership has been shown to increase retention at companies and boost engagement which studies show is highly correlated with productivity and quality of work. I care about how I show up to work each day so I strive to be positive and assume good intent.I specialize in problem solving and long term strategy. I love thinking big picture and making action plans to help my team get to the desired state. I’m driven, honest, and uncomfortable with complacency. In my free time, I geek out on economics, read any book I can get my hands on, and try the best coffee shops in my local scene! Strengths:Strategic, Relator, Learner, Ideation, Achiever
