About Lisa

15 years advising C-suite executives at UBS and Credit Suisse.

Now I work for you.

My Experience

I spent 15+ years in senior HR and reward roles at UBS and Credit Suisse, including during the largest banking merger in history. Before that I was 5 years in Finance at Syngenta.

My roles:

• Global Technology Reward Lead, UBS (24,000 employees)

• Global HR Head for the Chief Technology Officer, Credit Suisse

• Global HR Head for Technology Shared Services and HR Strategy Lead, Credit Suisse

• Head of Workforce Strategy for Risk and Finance Technology, Credit Suisse

What that means for you:

I’ve been in the rooms where promotions are decided, compensation bands are set, retention offers are negotiated, and exits are agreed.
I understand how decisions actually get made, not how org charts pretend they do.

What I Know

Compensation strategy
I designed reward frameworks at scale. I know what is realistic to ask for, what will be dismissed, and how positioning actually works inside bands and processes.

Organisational power
I worked directly with Executive Board members. I know how power really flows and how to read political dynamics before they surface.

Crisis navigation
I managed people risk and senior exits during the UBS–Credit Suisse merger. I know what “at risk” actually means and when staying stops being rational.

Pattern recognition
After thousands of decisions, the patterns are obvious: over-functioning, wished-for context, perceived constraints, normalized leverage. I know how to spot them and what they imply.
