Founder & CEO, caa
Entrepreneur | Speaker | Moderator | Connector
Abby Lindenberg is a founder-led CEO, 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 a growing national company. Today, her daughter thriving, and despite the turbulent time, caa emerged stronger. She remains involved in the rare disease community as Vice President of ISMRD.
This lived experience shapes Abby’s speaking approach: honest, grounded, and deeply relevant to leaders navigating uncertainty, growth, and change.
Abby doesn’t speak in theory — she speaks from the arena. Her style blends data, storytelling, and strategy, offering audiences both perspective and practical takeaways. At her core, Abby is a connector who believes business is better when it’s built together — and her talks reflect that conviction.
