The PRI has twenty years of experience supporting institutional investors to advance their responsible investment practice, with 5000+ signatories globally representing USD$128T+ in assets under management. We are a global community of industry peers working together to stay informed of trends, access the latest tools and insights, and deliver benefits for signatory clients and beneficiaries, in line with their fiduciary duties.

As Director of Americas Lindsey covers Canada, the US and Latin American markets, which include 1500+ investor signatories representing USD$90T in assets under management, policy makers, regulators and other major stakeholders. Through her work at the PRI, Lindsey was a founding member of Climate Engagement Canada (CEC, akin to CA100+), won a Canada’s Clean50 award for her leadership in collaborative work, and was the architect of the PRI’s global Community of Practice model (which seeks to bring investors together to build responsible investment ecosystems).

Before the PRI, Lindsey worked to accelerate gender equity in the Canadian finance industry as a Director at Women In Capital Markets (WCM).

She got her start in venture capital and has spent the majority of her career with CIBC Capital Markets Risk Management (CMRM) doing trading floor market risk for a variety of different asset classes.
