Lisa works with her clients to make better and faster decisions, creating value by helping them build more successful businesses and programs. She helps her clients capture the benefits of integrating strategic, financial, market and operational considerations into decision-making and planning- and avoid the risks of not doing so. Lisa increases her clients’ effectiveness through support of their strategic and business planning and implementation and better use of fundamental financial principles to support sustainable growth. Additionally, Lisa advises on building financial resources, working with her clients to identify the amount of funding needed and developing a compelling case to attract that funding.
Lisa brings extensive experience in finance and strategy in a wide range of business environments. Following a 20+ year career in finance, Lisa transitioned her focus to consulting and the nonprofit sphere out of a desire to use her expertise to strengthen organizations in the sector. In addition to independent consulting, in the nonprofit sector Lisa has worked for Wellspring Consulting (strategy consulting), FINCA International (development) and the Taproot Foundation (program management, strategy). Lisa has also participated in consulting engagements with public sector entities including the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Fortune 500 corporations.
During her finance career, Lisa was a securities analyst, on the sell-side and in institutional asset management, and a banker with firms including Credit Suisse, Lehman Brothers, and JPMorgan Chase. As an analyst, she focused on the food, retail and consumer products sectors of the high-yield and investment grade corporate bond markets. She was ranked for multiple years in the Institutional Investor annual poll of top sell-side analysts.
Lisa has served as Treasurer of the boards of Lutheran Social Services NCA and QSAC and is currently on the board of ArtStream. She is also a financial mentor with HBK Incubates, a nonprofit business support program for NYC based start-up food ventures.
Lisa received her MBA with a concentration in finance from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and her BA in economics from Duke University, where she was an AB Duke Scholar.
