As Principal, Lisa brings extensive experience as a management consultant and business manager with a strong background in strategic planning and financial analysis. The dual perspective of having worked on both the consulting and industry side is a great advantage in managing the project and the client relationship, especially during the implementation phase.

Lisa’s industry focus is technology, consumer goods and healthcare. She has successfully helped companies find solutions to their business challenges and equally as important, implement the solutions. Whether it be working with senior management to develop and implement strategic initiatives to transform the business, designing a reporting system to monitor business performance or finding ways to be more efficient and cost effective, each project requires the right blend of analytical rigour and team-based implementation.

Lisa’s strengths are her broad-based business experience, her analytical skills and her ability to motivate others toward a shared goal.

She studied Economics at the University of Alberta and earned an MBA at Columbia University in New York. After completing her MBA, she worked as a management consultant for Booz Allen & Hamilton. Then she moved on to the perfume and cosmetics division of Wella where she pioneered a strategic planning system, used to turn around and eventually sell the company. At Wella Lisa played a key role in developing strategic options and scenarios for individual countries, channels and products through to implementing major strategic initiatives at subsidiaries. After the company was sold, she joined EDS where she led the financial planning & analysis function.

For the past 15 years Lisa has been helping companies and organisations in the areas of strategy development, implementation and operational efficiency improvement. Included among her clients are the green technology companies Dynacert and Strashin Developments, Toronto General Hospital, pharmaceutical company Genpharm, and Scotiabank.

Lisa works with a network of management consultants and specialized resources that can be brought in on a project basis.
