OptIn’s founder Lisa Paolozzi has long been committed to women’s progress in the workplace. A former senior executive and a mother, Lisa understands the career path complexities facing female professionals in today’s workplace, as well as the benefits to companies with women in key leadership positions. Lisa launched OptIn in an effort to reconcile the two conflicting realities and contribute to the change she believes can make the business world a more successful environment for men and women alike.
Lisa’s successful corporate career spans nearly 20 years and includes work with companies such as IBM and The Concours Group. Prior to “opting out,” she served as the Executive Vice President for Schieffelin & Somerset, a joint venture of Moet Hennessy and Diageo and a leading luxury organization with more than $1 billion in revenue. With experience in strategic planning, knowledge management and business development, Lisa is helping companies integrate creative, flexible work solutions that attract and retain senior level women in the workforce.
