About

Grew up in New Jersey, lost the accent somewhere between Melbourne and London. Marketing to marketers is my sweet spot.

The short version

20 years in B2B SaaS and high-growth tech: VEED, Aircall, Hootsuite, Expedia Group, two scale-ups, Wiley, and a Forrester contract where it all started. Every stage of company along the way, from Series A chaos to NYSE-listed process.

I tend to arrive at the "grown-up pair of hands" moment. The point where a business needs real marketing infrastructure to scale: positioning that holds up, a team designed for the stage the company is at, and pipeline that doesn't depend on luck.

I stretch up and across. That rare mix of someone who can hold her own with the C-suite and the board, and a get-sh*t-done executor. No qualms about being in the trenches with my team, and I take pride in building bridges with peers in sales, CS, and product.

Leadership

My values

01

Transparency creates trust

Hard conversations happen early, not at annual reviews. No surprises, no spin.

02

Champion others before yourself

Credit given loudly and publicly. I build people through stepping stones, not just titles.

03

Build bridges with impact

Marketing wins with sales, CS, and product. Never in a silo.

04

Be curious, there is no status quo

No stones unturned, and "how we did it last year" is not a strategy.

05

B2B buyers are human too

Voice of customer is the heart of creativity. B2B doesn't have to be boring.

06

Strive for results, own them

Numbers against benchmarks, accountable in the open, up or down.

Testimonials

What it's like to work with me

From LinkedIn recommendations: managers, my team, and peers.

Simply put, Lisa is a rockstar. If I could, I would hire her again in a flash. If I had to pick a team of the top five marketers I have ever had on my teams, Lisa is in that top five.

I can confidently say she is the best VP of Marketing I have ever worked with. A true leader who drives efficiency and creativity within her team and inspires everyone around her to achieve their best.

MFMelissa FerdiLifecycle Manager, reported to Lisa at Aircall

Lisa is the best manager I've had in my career. Did I mention that she did all this from a completely different country and time zone?

DLDave LlewellynMarketing Director, reported to Lisa at Hootsuite

At the strategy level she's data driven and laser focused on customer and business outcomes. At the execution level she's a total machine.

RHRoisin HeraghtyProgram Manager, reported to Lisa at Hootsuite

Lisa's leadership style is the benchmark. She manages people with empathy, she listens and guides them in ways that enhance their career growth.
