Streamlining the Production Process with Phillips Opto

Lindsay Cline is our Vice-President of Education, working in tandem with the entire Phillips team to support almost 500 HTEC schools. Lindsay works closely with both our sales team and our industry partners to ensure that schools in the Phillips Education Community are equipped with the most advanced technology and resources available.

She is passionate about realizing the potential in technically inclined students and then providing them with the resources and support they need to turn that potential into success. “Generational wealth and financial wellbeing are no longer reserved for those who graduate from four-year colleges,” she says. “The workforce needs of America depend on those students with technical acumen and mechanical skillsets.”

Lindsay is a lifelong Alabamian with a bachelor’s degree from Jacksonville State University and a master’s from Auburn University. Prior to attending four-year schools, she was a high school dropout who made her way to college via the GED program and the support of Gadsden State Community College. Her experiences drive her passion to help students find the confidence and support necessary to build abundant futures for themselves and their families. 

A hospitality school graduate, Lindsay found her way to manufacturing via NASCAR, where she worked as the hospitality director for Talladega Superspeedway. She oversees the NASCAR, Formula 1, and NHRA programs for Phillips customers. She also serves as the liaison between Phillips and the Gene Haas Foundation to help instructors and schools secure scholarship funding and apply for naming rights opportunities. 

Lindsay serves on the board of directors for America’s Cutting Edge (ACE), Women in Manufacturing’s Alabama chapter, and over 20 advisory boards for manufacturing schools.
