Meet Lindsay
Fractional CMO, leadership consultant, and author helping organizations grow with clarity, alignment, and purpose. I specialize in transforming marketing, strengthening leadership, and building cultures where people and performance thrive.
I’m Lindsay Ellis — a leadership consultant, fractional CMO, and author dedicated to helping organizations grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
For more than two decades, I’ve led marketing, culture, and leadership initiatives for fast-growing companies, national brands, and mission-driven organizations. My passion is helping teams cut through confusion, strengthen alignment, and build the kind of workplaces people want to be part of.
Today, I partner with businesses as a strategic advisor and hands-on leader, guiding everything from brand strategy and marketing transformation to leadership development and culture rebuilding. My approach blends real-world experience, data-driven thinking, and a deep belief that strong leadership creates strong companies.
I’m also the author of Beyond the Ordinary Leader: The No-Suck Leadership Manifesto, where I share the lessons that shaped my leadership journey and the principles I now teach in workshops, trainings, and speaking engagements.
Whether I’m supporting a CEO, mentoring a leadership team, or building a marketing engine from the ground up, my goal is simple:
Help organizations become places where people thrive — and where performance naturally follows.

During my time working under Lindsay's leadership, I had the privilege of getting to know her closely. It was truly inspiring to work with such a great boss, who trusted, empowered and supported her team. Her open-mindedness and willingness to embrace new ideas created a dynamic and collaborative environment. She not only encouraged my professional growth, but also facilitated it by allowing me to shadow her and providing invaluable mentorship even after our professional path diverged.
