Lucy Caldwell is a technology executive and former issue-advocate with more
than a decade of experience. An expert in data-driven outreach and grassroots

She formed Mockingbird Lab with an eye to engaging issue-advocacy
organizations to shift toward data-driven tactics through great tech.

Until 2019, Caldwell spent five years at Crowdskout, serving as the Chief
Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President and ultimately helping to
shepherd the company through a successful acquisition. Crowdskout was
founded with a vision to empower people and organizations to amplify their
voices around issues through better use of data and technology. The software

across the political spectrum in all fifty states, as well as across four
continents. Under Caldwell’s tenure, Crowdskout was named the Best Advocacy
Technology Platform by Campaigns & Elections Magazine.

A former comms staffer with relationships at every major national news outlet,
Caldwell has been quoted in print publications and has appeared on programs
on CNN, Fox News, Fox Business, as well as NPR's Diane Rehm Show. She
