Lindsay Stevens

Lindsay Stevens is a Senior Partner at Kirk Palmer Associates, where she leads a practice built around growth. Lindsay partners with companies at every stage — from emerging challenger brands to established market leaders — to hire the executives who drive what's next: category expansion, new channel strategies, market entry, and operational transformation. Whether that means building out a leadership team from scratch, uniting an organization around a new vision, or instilling the operational discipline needed to scale, Lindsay brings a deeply consultative approach to every search.

Her client work spans a wide range of consumer categories — beauty, CPG, wellness, apparel, fashion, home, and sporting goods — as well as omnichannel retailers and digitally-native businesses. She also has a distinct and growing practice in services-oriented consumer businesses, including fitness, medi-spas, and consumer health concepts such as urgent care and dental platforms. Lindsay is a trusted partner to founders, investors, and boards, and has developed particular expertise working with influencer- and celebrity-led brands, a segment that demands a rare combination of cultural fluency and executive search rigor.

Prior to joining the firm, Lindsay gained more than 15 years of marketing and digital strategy experience at companies including Apple, kate spade new york, and C. Wonder. From this background she developed a passion for storytelling and creating an emotional connection with brands — expertise she now applies when placing precisely-matched executives in high-impact roles.

When her life with family and friends in San Francisco aren't on the schedule, Lindsay will duck away to either read a book, golf, run, ski, or take a quiet moment to solve a puzzle — crossword, jigsaw, or a good search assignment.
