Nesta is a research and innovation foundation. We apply our deep expertise in applied methods to design, test and scale solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time, working across the innovation lifecycle.
Head of Impact - Centre for Social Action Innovation Fund
Lindsay worked on the Centre for Social Action Innovation Fund, helping to scale innovations that mobilise people's energy and talents to help each other, working alongside public services.
She began her career as a management consultant with Bain & Company where she worked in their London, Boston and New Delhi offices before transitioning to The Challenge Network - a fast growing youth and community charity - where she was the Head of Fundraising.
She has also worked with a variety of third sector and government bodies, including the Girl Scouts, The Fulbright Commission, the OSCE, the US Congress and the UK Parliament.
Lindsay earned a BA in Political Science from the University of Tennessee, a Masters of European Politics at the University of Oxford, where she was a Fulbright Scholar, and an MBA at the Harvard Business School.
In her free time she enjoys volunteering, attending the theatre, cooking, boating, and performing improv.
We extend our impact through two specialised units that help people and organisations to solve complex problems and achieve their goals.
BIT helps clients from government, nonprofits and the private sector to improve people’s lives through our empirical problem solving and deep understanding of human behaviour.
Challenge Works designs and runs challenge prizes to spark innovation in science, technology and society.
