Hi, I’m Lisa.
My mission, and the reason I founded Simplicity Consulting, is to help everyone thrive in the new world of work. Simplicity Consulting provides enterprise marketing services that help brands run their marketing programs and operations at speed and scale.
When I started Simplicity Consulting in 2006 after the birth of my second son, I wanted high impact work that leveraged my skills in a flexible way. Today, I’m proud to lead a company that helps talented experts do the work they love, while helping busy managers achieve their goals faster. Simplicity Consulting has been recognized as an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private company in America for five consecutive years and one of Puget Sound Business Journal’s largest woman-owned businesses in Washington state.
Building businesses is my passion. After 14 years managing and growing strategic multi-million-dollar accounts for corporations, I embarked on this journey to help people find significance and success at work. I enjoy advising professionals who choose to maximize their expertise and transition to consulting and helping companies understand how to leverage on-demand experts to drive impact. Everyone wins in our new world work.
Speaking
I love speaking and writing about personal brand, consulting trends and the future of work, grounded in my 15+ years of experience helping professionals succeed at work and advising managers on the new world of work.
I have been honored to been named as an Inc. Top 10 Female Entrepreneur and selected as an Ernst & Young Entrepreneurial Winning Woman. I am passionate about giving back and am an active member of two business school advisory boards, provides a scholarship to the Cal Poly Women in Business group and actively several mentor woman entrepreneurs.
