Lindy was the Tecta America Central Florida President and regional managing president of Tecta America Southeast before stepping away from that role in 2014 to become the Senior Vice President of Leadership Development for all of Tecta America.
Her parents were significant influences in her career. “My dad gave me confidence that I could do anything,” she said. “My mom taught me to believe in myself. They have always been my biggest
supporters.”
