About Lisa Ratner

I know the power of human connection. I’ve developed teams of talented humans and cultivated hundreds of client relationships as a collaborative thought partner. After 20+ years in the HR space, I made the decision to leave the corporate world at the end of 2023. My plan was to take a step back, connect with and gain inspiration from my professional and personal networks, and see what was lighting me up. I quickly realized that coaching and partnering with extraordinary humans to have a meaningful impact on their lives is where I wanted to focus.During a casual conversation about a friend who was taking courses to become a matchmaker, I had an epiphany of sorts… thinking aloud “OMG, should I be a matchmaker?”With my own heartache, dating for decades and personal struggle to find my now-husband at the age of 45, the idea of working with singles to help them find their person seemed like the perfect pivot.In March 2024, I received a certification in professional matchmaking through the Global Love Institute, the longest running matchmaking school in the world, and officially launched Lisa Ratner Matchmaking & Coaching.Since I\'ve been there, my approach to matchmaking recognizes every path to love is unique. I help singles identify their dating patterns, define what they’re looking for in a romantic partner, and curate a plan to work towards their dating and relationship goals.I’m all-in and 100% ready for this new chapter in my career. If I can save singles precious time & money and alleviate heartache & stress by helping them find compatible, suitable, quality matches, I’ll know I’m where I’m meant to be.I’d love to hear your story; together we can find your person!Get in touch by visiting lisaratnermatchmaking.com or DM i•••@lisaratnermatchmaking.com for more info.
