Meet Dr. Tulinda Larsen

For more than four decades, I have dedicated my career to helping people, organizations, and communities realize their full potential. Through expertise in economics, aviation, advanced manufacturing, workforce development, and higher education, I build partnerships that create opportunity, strengthen industries, and transform lives.

Whether mentoring doctoral students, coaching entrepreneurs, advancing women into leadership, designing workforce initiatives, or advising organizations on economic strategy, my greatest fulfillment comes from helping others discover their strengths, overcome barriers, and achieve goals they once thought were beyond their reach.

As a nationally recognized economist, workforce development leader, and strategic advisor, I have worked across government, industry, academia, and nonprofit organizations to connect people with opportunity. My work spans advanced manufacturing, aviation, economic development, emerging technologies, public policy, and higher education, but the common thread has always remained the same—investing in people.

I believe strong industries are built by developing strong people. Throughout my career, I have combined expertise in economics, aviation, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development to create opportunities that strengthen individuals, organizations, and communities. Whether helping organizations develop talent, advising leaders on strategy, or building partnerships that drive innovation, my focus has always been on creating lasting impact through people.

I believe the strongest organizations, the most resilient communities, and the most successful economies are built by developing people. Lasting success is never achieved alone—it is created through leadership, mentorship, collaboration, and a shared commitment to helping others thrive.
