About Lisa Bradley

My approach to program management is rooted in a simple truth: sustainable transformation happens when you combine systematic thinking with genuine care for people\'s success. Whether I\'m working with stakeholders resistant to change, energy workers navigating safety requirements, or executives needing strategic visibility, I lead with curiosity rather than mandates:When I took over a $5.8M MBA program facing significant challenges, I recognized the issue wasn\'t just about metrics but broken trust. Rather than impose top-down solutions, I started with listening sessions and created transparency dashboards that made problems visible without making people defensive.The transformation was remarkable: 282% enrollment growth, graduation rates from 54% to 95%, and a sustainable 20% referral rate. But the real victory? Faculty and students became advocates who sustained improvements long after I moved on: Transformed underperforming training programs from 56% to 96% certification rates across 1,500+ workers Built first Voice of Customer systems achieving industry-leading +58.6 NPS for stakeholders Prevented $1.5M in fraud losses through collaborative cross-functional risk management solutions?I don\'t just manage programs; I architect ecosystems where previously resistant groups become active contributors to shared success. I use data not to win arguments, but to create shared understanding that enables collaborative solutions. Whether I\'m consolidating disparate systems, facilitating cross-functional meetings, or streamlining processes, my focus remains constant: How do we create environments where everyone can contribute their best work: Strategic Program Management roles where transformation expertise, cross-functional leadership, and stakeholder trust-building create competitive advantages.Let\'s connect if you\'re building programs that put people first while delivering measurable business impact.

Experience

1. Consultant

   Evermore Strategies, Llc

   Oct 2024 — Present · Denver, CO, US

   When joining pre-seed startups as a strategic consultant, I identified a critical gap: despite ambitious growth goals, most early-stage companies lacked the foundational infrastructure needed to scale their operations efficiently, creating bottlenecks that limited their ability to achieve strategic objectives.I approached this as a strategic opportunity rather than merely a tactical challenge. By designing comprehensive vendor evaluation frameworks and AI-powered documentation systems, I transformed how organizations build scalable infrastructure that supports sustainable growth.This systematic approach enabled startups to establish operational excellence while significantly reducing manual processes, turning potential limitations into catalysts for accelerated growth: Spearheaded comprehensive HRIS vendor selection, managing evaluation across 5 vendors and securing unanimous executive approval for optimal technology platform Streamlined documentation creation using AI to develop SOPs and process workflows, establishing sustainable knowledge management systems Provided executive support for board meetings and strategic initiatives, serving as Chief of Staff for CEO, COO, and CFO
