Meet Our Mentors: Lindsey Douglas

Lindsey Douglas
Vice President, Everett Delivery Center at Boeing

I am an operations executive in the aerospace industry with broad experience in engineering, strategy, audit, contracting, supply chain, and business operations. I lead a cross-functional team supporting aircraft delivery to global airline customers.

“I have benefited from various mentors throughout my career and believe it’s important to have someone who can share their experiences and give differing perspectives as you navigate your career.”

As a mentor, I excel at…

• Navigating careers
• Startups — building for product market fit, scaling
• Changing assignments or functions
• Leadership development

When I have free time, I…

swim, run, paddleboard, work in the garden, travel.

The best career decision I’ve made was…

to challenge myself with new assignments and opportunities to grow in areas I never expected.

I describe myself as…

competitive, determined, and analytical.

My motto/tagline is…

Be prepared to accept opportunities as they present themselves. If you struggle or fail, get back up and try something else.
