About Lisa Schell

I’ve spent most of my career helping leaders and organizations increase their impact through clear, effective communications. At Gartner, that meant turning complex research on technology, business transformation, and leadership into simple yet compelling messaging for executives and enterprise audiences. In my consulting work, it means helping leaders craft new, relevant narratives when they’re navigating a pivot, a reinvention, or a fast-changing market. Over the years, across marketing, content strategy, internal communications, executive messaging, thought leadership, and stakeholder engagement, my work has included- Partnering with founders and senior leaders on major launches, transformation efforts, and high-stakes communications- Guiding executives on how to build trust and credibility with audiences and stakeholders- Helping global firms — most recently Gartner’s Strategic Content team — tell the evolving story of technology and business transformation. All of these experiences have kept me close to the questions many organizations are currently working through: How leaders talk about change, how people make sense of it, and how communication can help shift mindsets, motivate teams, and make transformation more attainable. What makes me unique: A combination of enterprise-grade rigor, empathy towards the individual, executive coaching insight, strong writing ability, and a sharp editorial instinct to help leaders and organizations communicate in ways that build understanding, trust, and momentum.Areas I’m especially drawn to: Internal communications, executive messaging, stakeholder engagement, and change management that leads to business transformation.
