In detail:
Lisa is an accomplished transformation director with over 23 years of experience in consulting and industry roles.
She began her career at Ford Motor Company as a finance graduate, where she qualified as a chartered management accountant (CIMA) and completed the graduate rotation scheme, taking roles in accounting, finance planning and analysis, capital spending analysis and internal audit.
It was her role in internal audit that prompted her move to consulting. Lisa came to realise that she loved the variety project work afforded her as well as the opportunity to improve or transform a process or business area.
Lisa has gained extensive experience across multiple industries working on finance and operating model transformation, digital transformation, talent and career development and programme leadership, where she led and developed large teams of people whilst embedding new digital ways of working.
Lisa specialises in technology and cloud-enabled transformations including ERP transformation and financial planning and analysis tool implementations. She is passionate about using technology and digital ways of working to help her clients add more value, gain a competitive edge through technology, and become more efficient.
Of particular note was her multi-year role as programme director, leading a global SAP S/4 HANA enabled business transformation. This was a complex end-to-end programme in which Lisa led the vision, strategy, business case, design, implementation and deployment of the end-to-end value chain, resulting in changes to business processes, data and reporting, technology, governance, people and service delivery.
Lisa is a mother to two fantastic children and enjoys supporting them with their sporting pursuits, family ski holidays, cooking, or catching a film. She also finds time to keep fit, including running fitness classes in the evening called clubbercise, a dance-based aerobic workout in a darkened room with glowsticks! She thinks this is the closest she’ll get to being a professional dancer and enjoying the limelight!
