About Elizabeth Lindsey
I build nonprofit organizations that raise more, reach further, and make big ideas real—with heart and strategy at the center.I’m a nonprofit executive with 15+ years of experience leading mission-driven organizations through growth, transition, and transformation. As CEO of Urban Alliance and Byte Back, and EVP at UpTogether, I’ve tripled revenue, rebuilt trust with major funders, and secured transformative gifts from the Gates Foundation, MacKenzie Scott, and the U.S. Department of Labor.I’m a strategic communicator who thrives in front of a boardroom, at the podium, or one-on-one with a donor. I love getting stakeholders—from staff to funders—genuinely excited about a mission and aligned around a bold, shared vision.My leadership blends systems thinking with a people-first approach. I focus on aligning strategy with purpose, building high-performing teams, expanding donor portfolios, and cultivating partnerships that advance impact. I’ve also led thought leadership efforts—from TEDx talks to national policy work—that connect story to systems change.I lead with authenticity, collaboration, and a relentless focus on results.Let’s connect if you’re seeking executive leadership that delivers with heart, vision, and discipline.
