Bio
Michael W. Robinson
For a strategic understanding of communications and its critical intersection with sustainability issues, there's nobody better than Lisa. Her global experience at Jabil, combined with her work ethic and ability to advance the narrative, make her an invaluable asset to any team. I had the great pleasure of working with Lisa over the course of a number of years, and saw first-hand the tangible results she drives.
Eric Austermann
As Lisa’s direct manager, I had the privilege of working hand in hand with Lisa to develop Jabil’s first strategic plans for CSR, sustainability, and human rights. In addition to Lisa’s role in developing strategy, Lisa led our internal and external communication plans (including EHS), including crisis response to controversial ESG issues impacting our business. Lisa played a critical role in leading Jabil to publish its first thru its most recent CSR/Sustainability reports, including powerful storytelling that gained international recognition. Lisa brings to any organization strategic thinking, communications expertise, passion for social impact, organizational and planning strength, and thought diversity, leading to more robust integration into the business strategy. As a result, Lisa was recognized with multiple promotions and added responsibilities, including leading our most extensive social program that reached over 500,000 women with life-changing health education and empowerment skills. Lisa also successfully led efforts to integrate CSR and sustainability innovation into our business development process, leading to more influential positions with our customers. Lisa would be an immediate asset to any organization.
