We have a passion for business.

I'M LINDA

I'm Linda McDonald, the President of Bold Blue. I founded Bold Blue over 25 years ago to lend my experience as the founder of a medical device start-up to other companies. I have a passion for innovation, and love working with small and midsize clients to help them grow, become more profitable, and recover.

I approach business with an integrative mindset. I believe the best ideas and strategies arise from this approach.

I work closely with a small number of clients at any given time. I'm focused on delivering value, and always strive to do my best. I love clients who embrace win-win and enjoy healthy working relationships.

Clients engage me for a variety of reasons—

They are seeking strategies for growth, increased profitability, or recovery
They need leadership consulting to lead employees & partners in new ways, stay on track, and make the necessary changes
They need customer and stakeholder communication strategies
They need branding/rebranding & messaging
They need market development consulting
They need professional writing or editing

I have a B.S. degree in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota with a concentration in genetics and cell biology, and attended graduate school where I studied physiology and physics. I'm a life-long entrepreneur and understand what it takes to succeed.
