Manage episode 399740266 series 2995993
We have a Lady Lions basketball legend on today's episode of The People of Penn State, as we're joined by Lisa Lambert '89!
Lisa's successes as a student at Penn State — and as a team captain for the Lady Lions in the late 1980s — have helped propel her to become one of the most successful venture capitalists in the country.
Professionally, Lisa is the Chief Investment Officer, Private Markets for the George Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Founder/CEO of UPWARD, a global network of executive women. In a career spent investing in innovative startups at Intel, founding and leading National Grid’s innovation and investment operations, and founding a UPWARd to help advance women and minorities to top corporate leadership positions, Lisa has always been most in her element when disrupting the tech world’s status quo.
