Bio
Au'Janae Roberts
Lisa is an inclusive, empathetic leader with a humble, courageous and curious spirit. While working with her on DEI initiatives, I watched her challenge her own unconscious bias and take action to create a culture of belonging. Lisa is respectful, open-minded and understands how to relate to people from all walks of life. She empowered people from underrepresented groups to share their voice and lived experiences, as well as collaborated with diverse people to foster a better workplace for all employees.

Lisa - I am not surprised to see you blazing your way on a new path but remaining true to your passion of inclusion and diversity. I can not thank you enough for all that you have done at Wood to bring fresh ways for us to overcome the barriers that have long existed in DEI. You have a unique ability to keep focus on the human connections that tie us all together and based on that to move forward together. Thank you for all that you do!

I was in the fortunate position of reporting into Lisa for a number of years and what I learnt from her experience, integrity and professionalism was, and continues to be, invaluable. She is an exceptional leader who nurtures her team members by giving them the confidence and encouragement to succeed. With Lisa in your team, you know there is nothing you can’t achieve because she has the ability and instincts that allow you to challenge and strive until you get the best results. Working in inclusion and diversity is filled with complexities, nuances and subtleties. Lisa has the skill of traversing multiple opinions and insights to galvanise people. She was the powerhouse behind the creation of Wood’s values and elevation of the company’s I&D narrative, because she recognises that success at work means creating a community where quite simply every colleague feels they belong and celebrated for being who they are.
