Abby Lindenberg is the Founder & CEO of caa — a national business media and intelligence platform operating across 19 U.S. markets. She didn’t set out to build a media company. She set out to build connection.

Through caa’s Invest: reports, leadership summits, and executive interview series, Abby has convened thousands of CEOs, investors, and public-sector leaders — and has moderated conversations with Governors, Mayors, and top executives shaping regional economies from coast to coast. She speaks from the arena, not from theory: blending data, storytelling, and strategy to bring clarity and edge to every conversation she leads.

ON STAGE: PURPOSE & APPROACH

Abby brings a rare combination to any stage: operator credibility, deep economic intelligence, and the instinct to draw out the insights an audience actually needs. Whether moderating a high-stakes CEO panel or delivering a keynote, she creates conversations that move — not just talk.

Her stage presence is defined by preparation, precision, and genuine presence. She arrives knowing the room, knowing the speakers, and knowing the moments that will land. Audiences
