Lindsey BARR

Senior Director - Events and Academy Services
UITP
Belgium

With a master’s degree from the University of St Andrews, UK, Lindsey Mancini's career has spanned nearly two decades at UITP. Over the years she has performed a wide variety of functions including managing the activities related to IT+Digitalisation and Waterborne Transport. For a number of years she was Regional Officer for North America and Project Manager for the Global Public Transport Summit, UITP’s flagship event. Her passion for many years was managing the activities related to security, including the safety and security of women in public transport. This topic sparked an interest in gender-related issues in the sector which has remained central to Lindsey.

 

In 2018, Lindsey was appointed Head of Secretary General’s Office, directly supporting the Secretary General with all aspects of running of the association. In this role, she developled and implemented UITP's first policy on gender equality, which led to a marked improvement in gender balance of UITP's governance bodies and panels.

 

In February 2023, Lindsey was appointed member of the Management Board and Senior Director of the Event & Academy Services Department, responsible for the delivery of events, exhibitions and training programmes, including the Annual Summit. She remains responsible for UITP’s gender and diversity related policies and sits on the Board of Femme-en-Mouvement, an association connects women in mobility and promotes the mobility of women.
