Lindsay earns top honor at UW—Stevens Point
Started as advisor to governor, now global businesses expert
MADISON—Marsha Lindsay, a venerable Madison business owner and community leader, added another award to her lengthy list with the University of Wisconsin—Stevens Point’s 2023 Distinguished Aluma Award.
“I am deeply honored that my cherished roots in Stevens Point led me to the world stage,” said Lindsay. “I owe my success to many powerful people in the smaller college atmosphere who believed in me.”
After graduating from UWSP and enrolling in graduate school at UW—Madison, Lindsay was recruited by UWSP’s Chancellor Lee Dreyfus to join the small team that led his 1978 successful campaign for governor.
“Marsha discovered her purpose at our university and was advised by our first chancellor and Wisconsin governor, Lee Sherman Dreyfus,” said UWSP Chancellor Thomas Gibson. “His mentorship led her on a path to graduate school and starting her own company.”
Gibson said Lindsay’s career “inspires other women in business and industry.”
Lindsay, CEO of Lindsay Foresight & Stratagem, founded her most recent company, a strategic business consultancy, in 2017. Prestigious publications including Forbes and Chief Executive have featured her thought leadership and strategic playbooks. Global companies seek her forward-looking advice including The Conference Board and the Duttweiller Institute of Economic and Social Studies, Switzerland’s oldest think tank.
She has advised many companies and associations in Wisconsin. She was a founder of the award-winning Lindsay Stone & Briggs marketing firm in Madison.
“Marsha Lindsay is a renowned thought leader, innovator and trailblazer whose work has inspired some of the brightest minds in business,” said Zach Brandon, president of the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce. “Her keen vision for branding and marketing will ensure continued growth for her company and influence business leaders for years to come.”
Lindsay was named Distinguished Alumna at the UW—Madison, one of nine “making a difference” by the International Women’s Forum, Wisconsin Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, and a Distinguished Fellow at the UW—Madison Engineering School’s E-Commerce Institute, among many other honors.
