C F O, Design Concepts

Design Concepts was founded in 2006 by Linda Nessim, Co-Founder of Living in Digital Times and former Executive Vice President of Communications and Branding for The Princeton Review.

In her role at The Princeton Review, Linda was responsible for overseeing all public relations, market research, marketing communication efforts and Human Resources for the company. However, Linda’s remarkable specialty was her creation of the amazing and mind-blowing corporate meeting for over 500 employees each year. For over 18 years Linda brought these employees together to global destinations and delivered unique and fun-filled experiences.

As the Co-Founder of Living in Digital Times (LIDT), Linda built an unrivaled immersive technology conference production company most famously known for a decade-long partnership with the Consumer Technology Association. During this partnership Linda and her team managed more than a dozen conferences and exhibit zones at CES, CTA’s Consumer Electronics Show (the largest consumer technology event in the US with over 180,000 yearly attendees). Linda also helped launch and manage CES Asian held in Shanghai each year.

Now Linda delivers her brand of creativity and vision to private and professional clients all over the world through her dedicated work at Design Concepts. Linda has been quoted in publications such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Business Week.
