About Lisa
- I grew up in Michigan and earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Michigan.
- After college, I started my career working for Procter & Gamble, which was known as being a great place to help employees learn business and marketing.
- During the dot-com boom, I decided to move to Silicon Valley in California because I wanted to be near the action and help grow businesses.
- Having come from a large global company, I wanted to try something new and help build a company from scratch—I joined an early-stage startup that ultimately didn’t succeed, but I learned a lot.
- I went on to become the vice president of product management for Intuit and then the vice president of marketing, sales, and business development for Polyvore.
- I got the opportunity to join Google in a role that was focused on helping small businesses grow—something I was very passionate about, having spent a lot of time working for small businesses.
- I currently work as Google’s chief marketing officer of the Americas region.
- In addition to my marketing role, I’m also the founder and vice president of Grow With Google, which is Google’s initiative to help ensure economic opportunity for everyone.
