Co-Founder & Advisor to startupsCalifornia Kitchen DK
Driven by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and drawn to the Social Impact world, Lisa is itching to get fully involved and support social entrepreneurs and impact initiatives at a local as much as a global level.
After a few years working in marketing at Samsung in Paris then as a head of Sales&BD for a global design studio based in Vancouver, Lisa joined Airbnb in San Francisco at its very early stage in 2009 to support and co-lead the expansion of the concept internationally. In this role, Lisa was mainly in charge of hiring country managers, building teams and setting up presence in key markets globally while maintaining the company culture that was so crucial to Airbnb since day one.
Following 4 years of focus on international growth, she identified a need in investing in people's development and started building tools and programs for Airbnb's employee's growth, especially around leadership.
Today Lisa is based in Copenhagen where she has co-founded, together with her husband, the first fast casual concept in Copenhagen based mainly on plant based food and sustainable practices. She uses most of her free time advising startups and entrepreneurs and her passion lays in supporting initiatives around Climate Change as well as Health and Well-being.
