About Lisa

For 15 years I was on the other side of these decisions. 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 cover Senior HR and reward leadership roles across UBS and Credit Suisse, including during the Credit Suisse/UBS merger.

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.

How People Describe Working With Me

"Lisa and I worked together at UBS during the integration of Credit Suisse — a time of high stress and intensity. She embraced the challenge head-on, making a big positive impact and giving the team an external perspective that was very welcome."

Lucy, Managing Director Compensation, JPMorgan Chase (formerly UBS — Credit Suisse integration)

"One of the most pragmatic and solution-oriented professionals I know. She excels at simplifying complex processes and spending time focused on meaningful impact and strategy."

Kate, Director HR Business Partner, UBS

The Structural Decision Framework

All advisory work is structured around a five-stage decision framework grounded in behavioural economics and executive HR exposure inside large institutions.

Context Clarity
Position Readiness
Risk Filtering

Execution with Containment

This ensures decisions are made against verified structural reality, not emotion, assumption, or wishful context.
