Known as an inspiring motivational speaker, she engages and delights a wide variety of audiences, including entrepreneurs and professionals, working mothers and students. Dedicated to continually improving her communication skills, she is an active member of the National Speakers Association and Toastmasters International.
As an entrepreneur, she demonstrated her leadership skills during her 6-year tenure as President/CEO of Radi Medical Systems, Inc., growing the company from inception to revenues of $28M with profitability, and was recognized and ranked #28 of 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts in 2004.
During her 2-year tenure as the second President of Medical Development Group (MDG) of Boston, Lisa grew membership from 150 paying members to over just over 350. She has been a member of MDG’s Board of Directors for the past decade, actively promoting the organization and championing the annual "Transitioning into and within the Medical Device Industry" event, MDG's largest networking meeting, now in its 11th year.
Lisa earned a BBA in marketing and BA in economics from the University of Massachusetts, and an MBA from Bentley University, graduating with High Distinction. She is married to her high school sweetheart, John; they have one child—John Robert, who is their little miracle son and is featured as the central figure in several chapters of Motivation Now!
When she’s not working or spending time with her son and family, you can find Lisa taking photos, journaling, or planning a party.
