Creating harmony through bold change.
Concordia NovaWelcome
I’m Lindsay Brown, founder of Concordia Nova. With over 30 years’ experience in senior HR and people strategy—and a personal history rooted in a third-generation family business—I specialise in supporting leadership teams through conflict, succession, and organisational transition. My approach combines empathy, insight, and practical action to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
My vision is to help individuals, small and family-run businesses navigate workplace challenges with clarity, calm, and confidence. By offering thoughtful, practical HR services. My approach is grounded in integrity, professionalism, and simplicity — supported by clear terms, structured client onboarding, and streamlined systems for communication and thought leadership, I’m building a trusted presence in the HR, SME and family business space — one conversation at a time.
