Originally from California, David was born July 23,1944, son to the late Philip Ferdinand Lindeman and Anna Louise Brady. David Lindeman had served in the Directorate for Financial and Fiscal Affairs at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in the unit that staffs the Insurance Committee and the Working Group on Private Pensions. He was a Senior Pension Specialist at the World Bank from 1995 to 2001, where he worked on pension reform projects in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, and Kazakhstan.

His civil servant career included serving as the Executive Director of the 1994-1996 Social Security Advisory Council (through 1995), the Head of the Policy and Research Office of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (GBGC) from late 1988 through early 1994, and a Senior Tax Analyst and Acting General Counsel for the Congressional Budget Office in the mid-1980s.
