Zach Lindner

I’m a product leader and former engineer based in Brooklyn. I’ve spent thirteen years leading product teams across theater, auctions, eCommerce and food-tech. And when the perfect tools or apps don’t exist, I build them myself.

About me

A little background

I work on products that have a positive impact on the world.

Building things that people truly care about takes more than data. It begins with really listening to the stressed-out box office manager on opening night, the analytical collector bidding from another time zone, and the frazzled parents-to-be arguing over baby names. Understanding them is how I build products people come back to, and how I help move the companies behind them forward.

I’ve led B2C, B2B2B, SaaS and internal product teams across theater tech, auctions, eCommerce, food-tech, finance and non-profit. I started out as an engineer and still build my own products now and then. After hours, I cook for my family, my toughest critics and most honest customers, and make a little art when I can.

Open to full-time and consulting roles in NYC and abroad.
