Lisa graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro w/ the intention of becoming a fashion stylist. After styling stints w/ Paris Hilton, Shakira, Lil Wayne, Fabolous and Alicia Keys, she realized that styling was not paying the bills so she decided to explore a career in sales figuring, "if I can convince security guards to let me in to the hottest parties, I could sell stuff."
Sell stuff she did and haphazardly landed a job at a start-up tech firm which launched her career in the space. 8 years later Lisa was recruited on LinkedIn by LinkedIn, kicking off her career as an Enterprise Account Executive, a role she held for 2 years.
