Alison Jones, MPH

Lisa has consistently proven herself to be an extraordinarily creative problem solver. When faced with a challenge or conflict, she is usually the first to offer possible solutions. She is flexible, quick to act, and resourceful even in the most stressful of situations. Lisa is also a strong communicator. She is very mindful of her interpersonal dynamic, and she’s able to communicate effectively across a variety of personalities and working styles. In addition, I have been impressed with her unfaltering clarity and precision when coordinating logistics with a large group. I believe her consistent attention to detail speaks volumes about her work ethic. Lisa is a very responsive professional, and you can always count on her to reply in a thoughtful and thorough manner. She is a joy to work with!

Lisa and I worked together at the Volcker Alliance, where she arguably had one of the most critical and visible roles. As a young organization, we were always in the start-up mode, where everyone was required to pitch in and multi-task. Lisa was an eager and excellent contributor in this growth process of the organization. She was always accessible, flexible to take on tasks beyond her immediate responsibilities and fun to work with - a total team player. Overall, an energetic and talented individual to have on your side.
