As founder of Sunny Springs Advisory Group, Linsey offers clients years of executive leadership, strategic planning, and creative program development experience.

As part of this work, Linsey is currently leading the AI and Law Innovation Institute at University of California Law, San Francisco, as well as serving as national strategic lead and head of operations at the non-profit, US Chamber of Connection. Additional projects have included: awareness campaigns, research development, grantmaking and grant utilization, multi-year strategic planning, and public policy direction.
Prior to launching Sunny Springs, Linsey served as VP of Impact at Eventbrite, leading the Public Policy, Government Affairs and Social Impact teams. In late 2020, the Impact team initiated the design of the program features and investment narrative for Eventbrite’s signature social impact program, The Social Connection Project. Unveiled in June 2022, The Social Connection Project addressed social isolation and loneliness in young people through awareness, research, and advocacy.
What drives you to work on addressing social isolation & loneliness and fostering social connection?
I view social connection as a way to address the mental health crisis upstream, and also repair the fractures of vital societal discourse. I’m currently raising 3 teenagers. Watching them grow up shines a light on the implications of loneliness and isolation on their stress level, their motivation, and confidence to engage in robust conversation. To me social connection is the ultimate bridge to engaged, uplifted, and healthy individuals, and society at-large.
