FountainBlue LLC

FountainBlueFacilitating innovation and leadership for tech leaders one conversation, one leader, one organization at a time is my passion, my mission, my cause through my work at FountainBlue LLC. We take pride in bringing together innovators and leaders in the online events we conduct, the executive coaching we provide, the leadership consulting we practice, the strategic advising we provide.  – Linda Holroyd, Founder and CEO, FountainBlue LLC


Launched in 2005, FountainBlue LLC is a change management consultancy which provides executive coaching, leadership consulting, and strategic advisory services to people and business leaders facing operational, process, and cultural opportunities and challenges caused by rapidly shifting market, business and technology challenges and opportunities. 

The ‘Fountain’ in our name represents the innovation edge which keeps companies relevant and the ‘Blue’ in our name represents the leadership needed to bring innovations to the market and to the customer. Bringing the two sides together becomes much more important as we move from an Age of Information to an Age of Personalization – One Conversation, One Leader, One Organization at a Time.

As a change management consultant and CEO of FountainBlue LLC since January 2005, Linda Holroyd provides one-on-one executive coaching, executive and team facilitation and management, and organizational advisory services which focus on culture and growth. Our management consulting services consistently emphasize empowerment and growth at the individual, team and organizational levels.

At the organizational level, we partner with senior leaders to articulate, support and grow business, people, community and sustainability goals by 1) emphasizing proactive and strategic business development, 2) leveraging scenario-based-planning to optimize growth and expansion as well as innovation, and 3) leading organizational transformations which align to corporate mission, vision and values. The results are reflected in the shareholder value, the engaged workforce, and the product innovations.

Executive Coaching

At the leader and manager levels, we leverage people-centered strategies for maximizing impact and engagement within and across the organization. We measure success by the number of managers and leaders stepping up and stepping in to a broader, more flexible, more adaptive and more inspiring version of themselves, which in turn positively impacts those they touch.
