She is on a mission to empower people and organizations to stay safe online, so that everyone can experience the benefits of technology without worry. Lisa started her career in marketing with Ford Motor Company before moving into automotive technology and eventually security. Her passion is bridging the communications gap between security professionals fighting to protect us and our way of life, and the rest of us, struggling with the lingo and trying to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.

Lisa has led the NCA to two CSO awards: one for Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a campaign that engages millions of individuals, businesses and governments around the world annually, and one for Kubikle, a comedic YouTube series with over 19 million views.
