Lindsay Brown is a succession and exit strategy coach who supports founders, family businesses and senior leaders through some of the most critical transitions of their careers:

succession, exit, leadership change and conflict.

With lived experience of working in, leaving, and later supporting the sale of a family business, she understands both the strategic and deeply personal dynamics of these moments.

Her career spans over 20 years in HR and people leadership, including a decade as Global Head of HR in a SaaS business and 16 years as HR Director and Main Board member of a major UK construction company. She has led several, global organisations through growth, restructures, cultural integration and board-level transitions.

In 2025, Lindsay founded Concordia Nova to provide business owners and leaders with a rare blend of strategic advisory and human-centred coaching. Her approach is calm, pragmatic and values-driven - helping leaders untangle complexity, make confident decisions, and create lasting legacies.

Colleagues and clients alike describe Lindsay as an exceptional advisor who combines clarity with empathy, professionalism with pragmatism, and who brings steady authority to even the most high-pressure transitions.
