Nashville Post Most Powerful Women: Lindsey Cox
The Driver of Tennessee’s Innovation

In a special collaboration with Nashville Post, we are sharing the podcasts of Nashville Post Most Powerful Women. The Nashville Post Podcast covers the business industries and people making moves in Middle Tennessee. Hosted by Post Editor-in-Chief Nicolle Praino, the interviews feature a range of C-suite executives to start-up founders.

Our first conversation is with Lindsey Cox, LaunchTN CEO. Praino sits down with Cox to explore her career journey, leadership philosophy and commitment to growing Tennessee’s entrepreneurial economy.

One of the most memorable moments in Cox’s career came when she approached her boss and told him she wanted his job. Today, she holds that position, leading LaunchTN, an organization dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs, startups and business innovation across the state.

Cox’s story is a reminder of the importance of ambition, initiative and speaking up for your professional goals. Her journey also highlights the opportunities for women to take on influential leadership roles in industries that shape the future of business.
At LaunchTN, Cox is helping strengthen the state’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by supporting businesses and connecting opportunities across Tennessee. Her work underscores the importance of fostering innovation not just in Nashville, but in communities throughout the state.
