Lindsey Cushman, director of benefits for Maxar Technologies, is interested in what makes people tick.
Cushman first fell into benefits as she considered how to apply her psychology degree to professional life. While she yearned to help people, Cushman felt her “heart was too soft” to be a therapist, and decided to take a chance on human resources instead. After gaining benefits experience at Chipotle and DigitalGlobe, Cushman landed at space tech company Maxar, where she now serves a diverse set of employees — from manufacturing teams to PhD engineers and scientists — by digging into their core needs.
