Meet Lindsay Brown 

I’m Lindsay Brown — an advisor, coach and former board-level leader. I specialise in the people, leadership and cultural dynamics that shape a business during its most important transitions.

I support founders, family businesses and senior leaders who want clarity, confidence and steady direction through Start Up, Scale Up, Exit and life after the sale.

Clients describe me as calm, perceptive and practical. My work blends more than 30 years of leadership experience, global HR exposure and lived family-business insight. I help leaders make high-stakes decisions with confidence rather than chaos.

My Story

I grew up in a multi-generational construction business and lived through succession from the inside — the opportunity, the responsibility and the quiet pressure of legacy.

That early experience shaped everything that followed.

I later became HR Director and a Main Board member of my family’s business. After that, I served as Global Head of HR for a SaaS scale-up working across Europe, APAC, LATAM and North America.

I helped both organisations move through fast growth, restructures, cultural change and, eventually, a successful sale to Private Equity.

Across every chapter, one truth became clear:

The hardest business decisions are never just operational — they’re always human.

Concordia Nova was created to support leaders through these pivotal, identity-shaping moments. My focus is strategic clarity, emotional intelligence and a calm, steady hand when everything feels in flux.
