About Linda Holroyd
I help growth-stage leaders and teams move from confusion and disillusionment to resilient, agile execution in 90 days.I work with managers, leaders, and founders who want to motivate and empower their people, leverage technology (including AI) to do the work well, create meaningful impact, and serve the customer.My clients are often struggling with bottom-line results, choppy technology adoption and integration, and people and culture challenges that make it hard to move in the same direction.Through FountainBlue\'s Hope Economy operating system, clients develop a resilient attitude and mindset, set clear goals, design versatile pathways, and invite real agency across their teams. They move intentionally from Hope and Resilience to Clarity and Agility in how they think, decide, and act.Author of \'Hope in an Age of Disillusionment\' and creator of the Hope Toolkit.

Experience
CEO and Founder
Jan 2005 — Present · San Diego, US
As CEO of FountainBlue LLC, Linda specializes in aligning leadership, strategy, and execution to foster innovation and drive organizational effectiveness across global technology sectors. FountainBlue works with Tech and AI executives leading complex transformations, Founders and senior leaders navigating change across technologies, people, and processes, and Management, team, and people leaders building purpose-driven, high‑performing cultures. FountainBlue offers executive coaching anchored in values, purpose, and goals, calibrated to the current pace of change, transformation design, facilitation, and orchestration for cross‑functional initiatives, and organizational consulting on the opportunities and challenges of the AI era.Linda founded FountainBlue in 2005, initially gaining recognition through innovation-themed monthly events that convened executives, entrepreneurs, and investors. In 2020, she successfully transitioned these events online in response to the pandemic and sunsetted the program in 2024 to prioritize customized workshops, immersive engagements, and high-impact consulting and coaching services.In recent years, Linda has deepened her expertise through continued learning in human resources (SHRM certification), management (employment law, mediation, negotiation, finance), leadership development (executive coaching, leadership training), and strategic planning (board certification, strategy certification, and MBA-in-a-Box training). Her current and upcoming initiatives explore the convergence of human potential and AI integration, the future of work, and methods for measuring impact while nurturing soft skills. Linda enjoys mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs, connecting people to each other, singing first soprano, cooking, walking/hiking, and playing games. Her friends and family mean everything to her.
