About Lisa

15 years advising C-suite executives at UBS and Credit Suisse.

Now I work for you.

My Experience

I spent 15+ years in senior HR roles at UBS and Credit Suisse during the largest banking merger in history. Before that I was 5 years in Finance at Syngenta.

My roles:

• Global Technology Reward Lead (UBS) — 24,000 employees

• Global HR Head for Chief Technology Officer (Credit Suisse)

• Global HR Head for Technology Shared Services & HR Strategy Lead (Credit Suisse)

• Head of Workforce Strategy for Risk & Finance Technology (Credit Suisse)

What that means for you:

I've been in the rooms where promotions get decided, compensation bands get set, retention offers get structured, and reorganizations get planned.

I know how decisions actually get made, not how org charts suggest they get made.

What I Know

Compensation strategy
I designed reward strategies for thousands of employees. I know what's realistic to ask for and how to position yourself within existing frameworks.

Organizational politics
I worked directly with Executive Board members. I know how power actually flows and how to read political dynamics.

Crisis navigation
I lived through the UBS/Credit Suisse merger, managing people risk and senior exits in real-time. I know what "at risk" really means and when to stay vs. when to leave.

Pattern recognition
After 15 years and thousands of decisions, I know the patterns: over-functioning, wished-for context, perceived constraints, normalized leverage. I know what they look like and what to do about them.

How I'm described by senior leaders

• Known for making clear calls in complex, politically charged environments

• Trusted to simplify high-risk decisions without losing nuance

• Combines rigorous analysis with practical judgment under pressure

• Brought in when the cost of getting it wrong is material

Drawn from recommendations by senior leaders at UBS, Credit Suisse, and JPMorgan Chase.

“Lisa is direct, clear-minded, and focuses on what truly matters when decisions are complex and high-stakes.”

Why I Started Her Next Position

The people who got stuck weren't stuck because they lacked competence.

They were stuck because they:

• Built dependency with people who didn't decide their advancement

• Operated on assumptions instead of verified evidence

• Became the "go-to" person for work their boss took credit for

• Misread organizational power structures

They didn't need more analysis. They needed strategic judgment from someone who'd seen these situations play out hundreds of times.

That's what I provide.
