Bio
Mike Johnson
Lisa lent extraordinary cohesion, vision and collegiality to Greenpeace's campaigns through proven experience, agility in campaigning and by being an empathetic leader. Lisa embraced the challenge of uniting vastly different campaigns with a single, powerful voice that exemplified Greenpeace at its best: effective, nimble and clever. It was a honor to work with Lisa as a colleague.
Karen Topakian
I knew Lisa Finaldi during her years at Greenpeace as a campaigner and as campaign director. She frequently provided written reports and presentations to the board of directors. I could always count on a straightforward, thorough and engaging report and presentation. I was often in awe of her grasp of a myriad of complex environmental issues. And her ability to develop a strategic plan to confront the perpetrators causing the problem.
