“Above all, Lindsay was hardworking, dedicated, trusted, respected, and well-liked — across the organization and with partners. She showed up consistently as her best self, and brought positive constructive energy to every interaction.

Lindsay served as Executive Assistant to both the CEO and COO at Vitala, a tech-nonprofit with a bilingual, globally remote team. She very quickly became the connective tissue between leadership and the wider organization — especially across language, culture, and time zones.

She improved communication pathways, reduced misinterpretations between English and Spanish speakers, and tightened accountability across multiple workstreams and multi-country initiatives.

She also navigated complex schedules, competing priorities, and very high expectations with calm, clarity, and consistency.  Her work directly supported the leadership, the team and partners to implement complex projects in various contexts in the US and Latin America.

On top of being organized and reliable, Lindsay brought exactly the balance our environment required: operational agility across time zones, jurisdictions, demanding product and grant timelines, alongside deep empathy for the nonprofit mission, our team, and the people and communities we serve.

That balance was very effective and greatly appreciated. ”
