Lisa is a visionary, high-impact CPO capable of navigating complexity and delivering sustained organizational change.

I directly managed Lisa during her three years as our Chief People Officer and strategic People & Culture partner, having brought her in specifically to design and execute the overhaul of our US People function within a challenging global, hybrid framework.

Lisa delivered transformative results across the organization: she not only protected but actively evolved our company culture, significantly boosting employee engagement; she rebuilt our talent and people operations functions from the ground up, delivering modern, scalable processes and efficiency improvements; she was a critical business partner to the CFO, expertly managing compliance and budget while keeping us fiscally sound; and finally, she demonstrated future-ready leadership by spearheading the successful integration and adoption of AI tools company-wide.
