Lisa is an Executive Advisor at First San Francisco Partners (FSFP), where she advises C-level executives on data and AI governance and leads the firm’s Innovation and Service Development practice, focused on AI governance and semantics. Her work centers on the decisions and accountability structures that determine whether data and AI investments hold up: who owns which decisions, what data means across the business, what data is fit for a given AI use, and how governance operates as a working practice rather than a policy document. She specializes in building capabilities where none exist.
Before FSFP, Lisa spent over two decades at Sherwin-Williams building data management, analytics and AI capabilities. She made analytics and data science directly usable by business teams without IT intervention, backed by the data literacy and governance programs that made it safe at scale. She built and led the teams behind those capabilities, with a sustained focus on career pathing, upskilling and coaching. She also held technology leadership roles across data, network, application development and point of sale. Her work spanned manufacturing, finance, marketing, sales and procurement.
