The 10 Most Inspiring Women Leaders to Follow in 2022

of data—so that the humans can do what they do
best—intuition, empathy, and creativity. That combination
allows her to find pearls of wisdom in oceans of data, pearls
that can disrupt human trafficking, reduce bias in
healthcare, or curb wildfires. She believes it's the kind of
thing that makes legacies for leaders.
Innovative Work, Innovative People
AI will disrupt and personalize industries that haven't fully
invested in the possibilities yet. Launch is ready to be a part
of that change in industries like healthcare, government,
and sustainability. These industries sound completely
unrelated but are similar in touching each person's life.
Launch calibrates a positive approach to leverage digital
transformation to bring the right information to experts at
the right time. It uses AI to benefit its clients and
systemically show them the growth opportunities.
Speaking about the changes she would like, Lisa says,
"Most leaders don't purposely build a product with
vulnerabilities that bad actors can exploit, but we're all
aware of the terrible content out there on the internet.
Because of that, I'd love to see safety by design adopted as
an industry standard for all companies that host third-party
content. I think the managed services industry is uniquely
positioned to help global technology companies address
trust and safety issues like disinformation, hate speech,
child sexual abuse material, and live-streamed terrorism."
Lisa understands that a managed services company can help
leaders, who so often are drowning in the tyranny of the
urgent, to address the daily needs of the business while
moving forward a more strategic, coordinated approach to
ethics, safety, and secure development in the Metaverse age.
She further enthusiastically states, "Part of my long-term
plan is keynote speaking on "embracing AI for digital
transformation." I'm hoping marginalized groups will see
themselves in my story and find a way to create their own
leadership career paths. After all, nothing about my
upbringing should have gotten me here. I grew up in the
Midwest, not in Silicon Valley. I'm not an early adopter. I
had to look up what a semiconductor was when I moved to
California. I didn't get an email address until after college.
I launched my first company in my forties. If I can do it,
anyone can."
She believes that if anyone is interested in data and is
curious about leadership and the will to learn, they can be
an entrepreneur. Lisa concludes with a piece of guidance,
"If you're the type who likes to learn before you leap, fellow
AI company founder Emily Kennedy and I have partnered
with Women in Data to deliver our course the
Entrepreneurship Tool Kit, to help more people Find your
passion and learn effective tools and strategies to launch
your business. Find more information on this course or

Future Missions and Aspirations
Lisa's long-term goal is to help bring in more women to the
data-science field. She has started the process through
consulting, coaching, and mentorship. She partners with the
non for profit Women in Data to help big companies assess
how to get more women into data science roles and ensure
representation across the board. Digital transformation must
include diverse voices, business owners, and viewpoints on
the future of work and product development. Lisa has
formulated a plan so that the company is data-driven, hiring
the best people from around the world, and delivering
excellence and tech solutions.
