About Crystal Lindsay

Passion. Data. Strategy. Relationships. Working at IBM across all business units, global regions, and HR functions, I’ve applied my passion for authentic relationships - and my analytic and strategic skills - to drive business goals, advance corporate values, support our diverse workforce, and serve our customers. I continue to do so as a Human Resources Business Partner who is proud that IBM was recognized in 2021 by Comparably for “Best in Class HR Team” and “Best Global Culture.” At IBM, I’ve worked productively with C-Suite executives, HR business partners, cross-functional leaders, external stakeholders, and global teams. Agile and undaunted in the face of complex challenges, I’ve delivered business-critical initiatives and large-scale projects within highly accelerated deadlines and resource/budgetary limitations by collaborating and engaging others in the processes. To support my recommendations, I build financially sound business cases informed by data and then clearly communicate the insights to decision-makers. A Certified Blue Core Coach, I love to help people become aware of their skills and capabilities, develop them to the fullest, overcome roadblocks, and seize opportunities for growth and advancement. I champion and demonstrate continual learning and development, all-in engagement, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. I’m a very enthusiastic team-builder who designs and leads creative events that energize and motivate individuals and teams to excel in an enjoyable work culture – even virtually! I’m a lifetime member and active participant of the Girl Scouts of America, currently as Troop Leader and Service Unit Coordinator Emeritus. When not working, I love photographing nature, cooking, spending time with family, and visiting old mansions and arboretums.
