About

My name is Lyndsay Vella Handlos

I bring nearly two decades of experience in B2B and B2C marketing across healthcare, technology, AI, and SaaS. My career began at a pharmaceutical startup, where I managed everything from FDA submissions to brand development. I later worked at a global advertising agency, leading integrated campaigns across digital, social, and print channels.

I’ve consulted for major companies like Gap, eBay, and McKesson, driving projects in strategic marketing operations, rebranding, and technology stack design. At McKesson, I helped integrate digital marketing across business pillars and promoted transformative company-wide initiatives. At Biocodex and Gilead Sciences, I led teams, launched omnichannel strategies, and implemented innovative marketing technologies.

Focused on AI, Technology, and Healthcare

Recently, I’ve partnered with early-stage AI companies as a Fractional CMO and Chief Commercial Officer, guiding founders and CEOs through launch planning, brand development, and go-to-market strategy. My expertise lies in shaping commercial strategies, building teams, and creating compelling brand narratives to drive growth and attract investors.

Let’s connect to build what’s next—together.​​
