Lisa Pensinger
You can take the sports fan out of Boston, but you can't take Boston out of the sports fan. Lisa Pensinger is proof. The Massachusetts native recently traded her Beantown zip code for one in the City of Roses, and although she's fallen hard for Portland, she just can't stop thinking about her beloved Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics. "I went up to Seattle my first month here and caught three Sox games at Safeco Field," Lisa admitted. Boston fans are notoriously passionate - some would argue obsessive - about their teams, and Lisa is no exception. She's lost count of all the hours she's logged tailgating at Patriots games and has been a fixture at Fenway since she could mouth the words "Green Monster." Lisa grew up to become a standout player and captain of her college basketball team.
Lisa's enthusiasm for her teams is rivaled only by her enthusiasm for tackling big, complex projects. Her passionate approach to creating solutions - not to mention her deep knowledge, experience and leadership skills - is why she's so valued as an ACME consultant. Lisa has more than 11 years of experience leading large-scale, cross-organizational programs and projects involving the integration of people, processes and technology. She's passionate about being part of a team and subsequently working collaboratively to success. Her strengths include facilitating business process reengineering, implementing large-scale technology solutions, leading change management initiatives, and not surprisingly, driving teams to achieve results. She's a certified Six Sigma black belt consultant and a licensed securities trader. Lisa holds the distinction of having successfully led transformational efforts for one of the largest mutual fund firms in the world.
Lisa earned her bachelor of arts in economics from Wheaton College in Norton, MA and her MBA from Nichols College in Dudley, MA. She's an avid cyclist and still plays basketball regularly. When Lisa's not watching sports, she spends as much time as possible with her family and friends, who now reside on both coasts. Although she's a diehard Boston sports fan - and will be for eternity - Lisa admits she's looking forward to following the Trailblazers, Seahawks and Mariners now that she's living in the Pacific Northwest.
