How impactful buildings are in every facet of society

Lindsay was one of the first 40 staff members at the U.S. Green Building Council, working to develop consensus about what the LEED rating system would become. She then earned an MS from the University of California at Berkeley in Architecture, with a focus on Building Science, and spent five years as a building science researcher at the UC Berkeley Center for the Built Environment. 

Lindsay is a climate entrepreneur, experienced in launching and growing innovative businesses from being part Google's Green team to being her own entrepreneur and later co-founded a smart buildings start-up called Comfy, which got acquired by Siemens. She was also the first Global Head of Sustainability and Impact at WeWork, where she built the corporate sustainability team and programs from scratch.

As the current CEO of the International Living Future Institute, Lindsay Baker is the organization’s chief strategist, charged with delivering on its mission to lead the transformation toward a civilization that is socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative.
