Patrick Devine

  • I’ve had the privilege of working with Lisa for almost 5 years. Simply put, she excels at everything she does including leadership, strategy development and execution, and Company transformation, just to name a few. She is inherently brilliant, passionate, and a natural-born leader who seemingly has the ability to will things into being. She was able to turn around our company from a loss position to a highly profitable position which required extensive planning, execution, and rallying of Company personnel.
    Rachel Needle
  • Lisa is a hard-working and passionate woman! She is diligent and detail-oriented. Working with Lisa was a pleasure. I learned so much from her!

Matt Hirsch

  • I have worked directly with Lisa for over 3 years. She is loyal, dedicated, and the hardest-working person I have ever met. Lisa is able to get the most out of her direct reports and is not afraid to have crucial conversations when needed. Her employees respect her and she never leaves you questioning where you stand with her. Lisa is an exceptional leader and leads by example. In all her work she functions with integrity and honesty. She always puts her employee's needs above her own. I wish I had 100 professionals to work with like Lisa. She treats Transformations like it is her own and is someone I am proud to have as part of my team.

Jordan Boudle

  • Lisa is someone who I have always looked up to. She is a natural-born leader with impeccable sales skills. I’m honored to know Lisa and with the time I’ve spent with her, I feel I have gotten better at MY job. That’s what I call the “Lisa” effect. If you get a chance to interact with her, don’t miss it. She’s a special person with an unparalleled sales and management history.

Tim Kidder

  • Lisa's style, acumen, and passion are cornerstone attributes for a company to build on. She demonstrates such a high level of commitment and caring, and this positivity spills over into her very effective relationships with colleagues and direct reports. I was always impressed by her ability to bring level-headed judgment and a strong focus on goals and outcomes into challenging business situations. She's one of the most talented people I have worked with.

Lindsay Morresi

  • During the time I worked with Lisa, she proved herself to be a true leader. I was new and inexperienced, but Lisa made sure I had the necessary tools and guidance to succeed. She has a knack for recognizing areas that are in need of improvement and rising to the occasion. She has the unique skill of inspiring those around her to work as a team toward a common goal. I learned a lot about myself and my potential while I worked with Lisa and I attribute much of my success to her influence.
