We’re thrilled to congratulate our very own Jared Lindman, Director of Product Strategy, for being recognized as one of Alaska’s Top Forty Under 40 by the Alaska Journal of Commerce! As a leader at MTA, Jared fosters a workplace culture built on curiosity, innovation, and fun, key elements that make MTA a great workplace. Those who work with Jared know firsthand that he strikes the perfect balance between productivity and fun, ensuring business gets done while keeping the journey engaging and rewarding. Beyond the office, Jared is deeply involved in his community. He volunteers as a coach and board member at Palmer Soccer Club, serving on the board of the Alaska Community Development Corporation, and even teaching technology literacy classes to seniors. But his most rewarding role? Coaching youth soccer and watching kids figure out who they are. Outside of work and volunteering, Jared’s life is filled with family, fun, and creativity. Whether he’s spending time at his favorite family cabin or making quirky projects—like a grandfather clock that’s actually a kegerator—Jared brings passion and joy to everything he does. We’re so grateful to have Jared as a leader at MTA. Thank you for everything you do!
