As well as serving as the Executive Sponsor of BProud, BigCommerce’s Employee Resource Group (ERG) supporting LGTBQ+ employees, Lisa is actively involved in the women’s ERG BEmpowered, where she has spoken to the group about the value of diversity and the importance of investing in mentorship and sponsorship relationships. Lisa has also played an integral role in shaping the company’s approach to diverse recruiting: she routinely looks for ways to attract more diverse candidates — one of her first moves at BigCommerces was to have her team remove education requirements where possible for candidates applying to marketing roles, a decision which significantly broadened the pool of qualified candidates. Additionally, Lisa served as a core member of the team that built out the DEI framework for the company. She is a frequent speaker on issues of passion for her. As a parent of a transgender child, she is increasingly involved in organizations that support LGBTQIA teens.
