Rock Your Profile Ambassador - A live chat in New York City with EA Lindsay Robinson from LinkedIn

084: Lindsay Robinson has always been in service of others.
Starting her career while still in college at Montclair State
University in NJ, she commuted to NYC each day serving as an
assistant to a Technology Venture Capitalist. She learned very
early in her career that being proactive, resourceful, and
personable would get her quite far fast. Coordinating events,
managing office politics, and of course keeping this busy
executive efficiently organized made her sought after in the
entertainment industry.


Starting in the Public Relations department at the National
Basketball Association was a dream come true in September 2000.
As a fan and college athlete, combining her passion and career
goals was a gift. She spent the next 11 years at the NBA under
the tutelage of amazing leaders learning the business of Player
Development. Assisting in the execution of national events like
the NBA Pre-Draft camp and Draft, Annual Rookie Transition
Program, Team Awareness initiative, pockets of All -Star weekend,
and our global Basketball without Borders program, all while
keeping two busy execs informed of their responsibilities.


When it was time for a change of pace, Lindsay started a new
position at the growing NYC based experiential marketing agency,
Team Epiphany. Creating a position for herself as Vice President,
Business Operations she was responsible for the creation of
process and protocol that kept the company running as well as
supporting the Husband and Wife Co-owners as their personal and
executive assistant. The company with clients like Nike, Google,
Moet Hennessy USA, Cadillac and more grew from 10 to 70 employees
over the 9 years she was there, eventually starting a second and
managing office in Portland, Oregon.


Almost 20 years later, Lindsay was fortunate to find her way back
to the Tech industry in 2018. As an Executive Assistant to the
Online Sales Organization at LinkedIn, her daily role is in
support of the Vice President as well as a Sr. Director in this
business vertical. With 700 employees globally, her days are full
of varied requests requiring a high level of efficiency and
execution. One of the joys is being able to help people
understand the benefits of the platform as an Ambassador for the
Rock Your Profile program.


In her spare time she is an avid fitness enthusiast. She
completed 40 races in a calendar year as a celebration of her
40th birthday in 2017, following that goal by running the NYC
Marathon in 2018.
