As a magnetic leader and inspirational public speaker, Lisa has spent a lifetime leveraging unmistakable charisma to guide businesses across industries to remarkable success. She managed two restaurants within Danny Meyer’s hospitality empire, drove deals for a top NYC real estate team, built the world’s fourth largest business networking franchise within BNI, and initiated WeWork’s first-ever community model, positioning the startup for astronomical growth. In her current role as CEO, Lisa founded and built Primary, “NYC’s Coolest New Wellness-Focused Coworking Space,” which quickly expanded to two locations in Manhattan—and was eventually named the 3rd Best Coworking Space in the US.
Lisa has raised significant startup funding (10mm+), negotiated multi-million dollar leases, and invented a wellness category within coworking. She has also weathered industry-wide downturns with unshakable grace and resilience. Now pursuing a Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology, Lisa will be creating a program to inspire and elevate entrepreneurs around the world. In her spare time, she inspires and elevates her sons, Henry (5) and Hawk (4).
