Lindsay Freylack

Vice President, Black Flower Agency

1. What do you do in your job? Has it evolved since you started?

I am a vice president at Black Flower Agency, and I oversee a team that manages luxury fashion clients such as Gucci and Max Mara, and happy to have brought on a new client to the agency this year, Airbnb. Our team works collaboratively to offer the best event production and VIP hospitality service to our clients both domestically and globally.

My role has definitely evolved since starting at Black Flower in 2015 as a senior account manager. I was immediately thrown into the fire on a huge event for CHANEL, and never stopped running and growing. This was also the year we first brought on Gucci as a client, and I have enjoyed nurturing and growing that relationship over the years with my team – it’s been quite an evolution! I look forward to the next phase of evolution and an exciting 2020!

2. What is your favorite part about your job?

My team, hands down! I work with a talented, passionate team who I look forward to working with on a daily basis. I could not manage my job without their amazing support.

3. What would we find you doing outside of work?

You would find me in Brooklyn with my long-time partner and two young daughters at school activities, swim classes, museums, parks, zoos, you name it – we are always on the go.

4. What’s something your coworkers would be surprised to learn about you?

Though I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, I did not grow up on a farm. I was raised in the city and actually spent most of my time on the Des Moines River where my family ran a marina until I was 16 years old. In my heart I absolutely love to be on the water, in a boat, or waterskiing – although I have made it difficult to keep up these passions by moving to the Big Apple!

5. If you had to pack up everything and move to another country tomorrow, where would you go?

Norway – I have a few beloved family members that live in Oslo and would welcome a complete change in lifestyle if I were to make such a move.
