JDI worked for Lisa at 2 separate companies - Nellcor/Tyco and Conceptus. Lisa's management style encourages individual growth as well as departmental growth. She looks for the talent in each person and makes sure those gifts and talents are being used to benefit the individual as well as the company. She is an extremely bright person and is an exceptional medical device marketing executive. She stays in-tune with the newest means of marketing methods and uses advances in technology in her marketing strategy. She built a very tight-knit, dynamic marketing team at Conceptus and although we have all moved on, we still keep in touch. The development and advancement in my marketing career is because she pushed me to grow and had faith in my abilities, even when I didn't. It was an honor to work for her.

LYI reported to Lisa during most of my tenure at Conceptus. I feel that Lisa provided strong leadership and knowledge particularly as it relates to women’s healthcare in the medical device industry. Lisa’s strong clinical background as well as her sales and marketing training and experience were key contributors to the commercial success of Conceptus. Lisa encourages personal as well as professional growth thus encouraging long term employment and high productivity among her subordinates. I would recommend Lisa to any position that can utilize her skills to its fullest extent.

ASIn working with Lisa I admired – among many other things – her ability to lead and unite a diversified team. Lisa created a learning environment for her direct reports, resulting in great productivity and effective marketing tools. Lisa has a passion for her work. Her thorough knowledge of the market dynamics, technology and key drivers advanced the adaptation of Conceptus’ Essure device for permanent female birth control, offering a simple, less invasive procedure to many women. Lisa’s marketing expertise advanced the company greatly into unchartered territories that many medical device companies still dream of, such as direct-to-consumer advertising. I highly recommend Lisa as a professional and strategic leader.

DDI fully credit Lisa with helping to re-wire my brain (and the department's) around modern electronic marketing modalities. This re-wire freed the company from interactions that were exclusively paper/CD-based allowing us to leverage a wealth of content and save money. With her leadership, we efficiently distributed messages while staying nimble to market-driven message shifts. She is ahead of her time and keeping up is professionally fulfilling.
