Dave Lindsay is a Senior Staff Product Manager at Shopify. He possess expertise in program management, c++, software project management, software development, software engineering and 22 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I've gotten to work with Dave at two different companies, and it's been a true pleasure. Dave devotes himself with his care for doing superb work and a passion for solving difficult problem spaces with customer-serving creativity. He leads with vision, context, competence, and authenticity. He navigates complex product solutions with forward-thinking interdisciplinary solutions, incorporating deep understanding of cross-departmental needs and interdependencies. He's proactively collaborative in his approach, leading both people and projects with genuine care, astute persuasion, compelling ideas, pragmatic optimism, and contagious inspiration. It's been great working with him in every regard. I enjoy Dave's intellectual honesty, curiosity, care and inventiveness, and deeply appreciate his consistent moral integrity to do right by the customer. He's a puzzle solver. He thinks broadly about how the pieces interlock between what's needed by the business, what's good for the customer, and what engineering is capable of accomplishing. He connects dots between multiple considerations and stakeholders to devise solutions. He dives deep into the needed expertise while maintaining clear vision and strategic alignment. And he does so with a leadership style that's eager to create, solve problems, grow others, assist other teams, and make great things happen. It would be a joy to work with Dave again.", "I worked closely with Dave at Lyft on several key initiatives. He is an amazing product leader with the ability to build inspiring visions, bring the team along, and execute perfectly. He can roll up his sleeves and take a truly scrappy approach when needed. He can also drive alignment across many teams with a multi-year vision and roadmap. I would work with Dave again in a heartbeat.", and "Perhaps it has become trite to say someone is the "best of the best", but there may not be a better way to describe the multivariate value that Dave brings to a team. I've worked with a lot of PMs in my career, from very junior to very senior, and each has brought something to the table-- great vision, insightful debate, a willingness to listen, empathy, and so forth-- but only one has had them all. Dave combines these attributes with so many others that make him not only easy to work with, but someone I truly looked forward to working with each day--transparency, humor, grit, an ability to shake off the bad and focus on the good, and a genuine desire to help those around him grow. My own decision to leave Lyft was very much hampered by the fact that I might not get to work with as talented of a PM again. Dave and I worked together in a space that, while extremely important for the product and the bottom line, lacked sufficient support. It would be easy to get dejected, but Dave made it motivating. How do we figure out a non-engineering solution? What can we focus on with policy changes? What components can we leverage from elsewhere? It became a strategic game to evaluate our options as a team, ultimately coming together with Navy-SEAL precision to make things happen. With other leaders, it might have felt like whack-a-mole, with Dave, it was chess. I cannot recommend Dave enough. Not only will he guide your programs and projects to greatness, but he'll bring the team along with him, and increase each of their impact and ability 10x."
