About Lisa Lewen

I am a passionate People Leader, specializing in large-scale Talent Assessment and Talent Management strategy with over 15 years of broad industry experience. I hold a Ph.D Industrial/Organizational psychology with a quantitative background. My expertise stems from having learned to negotiate the art and science of applying rigorous, data-driven and defensible solutions, with a business mindset to deliver timely, impactful, and innovative solutions without sacrificing diversity of talent. Additionally, I bring the dual focus of having served both as an external expert consultant, as well as having worked internally in multiple Global Fortune 100 companies as a trusted Talent Advisor. In my career I have excelled at building and developing teams of I/O Psychologists, creating end-to-end talent strategy and solutions, and communicating and influencing senior executives and their leadership teams around talent matters of strategic importance to the organization. My breadth and depth of experience spans widely across Talent and People practices, such as the design and delivery of core talent assessment solutions (e.g, selection, promotion, succession planning) as well as core talent management processes (e.g, performance management, succession planning, leadership development, 360 Feedback, Engagement). Throughout this time, I have managed large cross-functional teams, as well as teams of direct reports. My strength is in leading and driving highly visible, large-scale, data-driven talent solutions in large, matrixed organizations. I bring a passion for elevating talent from individual contributors to senior leaders and executives, maximizing person-job-organization fit, and pushing boundaries to make talent solutions innovative and rewarding for all involved. My areas of expertise are: Talent Assessment (including Personality, Leadership, Job Knowledge, Biodata, Behavioral Structured Interviews, etc.) Talent Management Performance Management Succession Planning High Potential identification Employee Engagement Leadership and organizational competency models Leadership Development 360 Degree Feedback Organizational Culture and Change Advanced Quantitative and Qualitative data analysis Talent Acquisition Legally defensible talent recruiting and assessment strategies Talent audits and remediation solutions EEOC and OFCCP-related issues Survey design and development
