Abby Lindenberg

Abby Lindenberg is a national business strategist, and sought-after speaker who brings together leadership, resilience, and real-world economic insight in a way few can. As the Founder & CEO of caa, Abby built a national media and intelligence platform from the ground up — without investors — expanding from one market to 18 U.S. regions in just ten years. Her work sits at the intersection of business intelligence, leadership, and connection. Through caa’s Invest: reports, leadership summits, and executive interviews, Abby has convened thousands of CEOs, investors, and public-sector leaders, and has moderated conversations with governors, mayors, and top executives shaping regional economies across the country. But Abby’s credibility on stage extends far beyond titles and scale. Midway through building caa, Abby relocated her life so her daughter could undergo a bone marrow transplant for a rare genetic disease — all while running her growing company. During that same period, she lost her Vice President of Business Development who oversaw her entire sales staff, forcing her to lead through personal crisis and professional disruption simultaneously. Today, her daughter is more than two and a half years post-transplant and thriving — and caa emerged stronger. This lived experience shapes Abby’s speaking approach: honest, grounded, and deeply relevant to leaders navigating uncertainty, growth, and change.
