Lisa discovered her affinity for the accounting industry when she began working for her parents as a bookkeeper for their computer business in 1998. It is there that her father taught her the fundamentals of the accounting process. A Bay Area native, her hotel career began at the Claremont Resort & Spa in Berkeley as an Income Auditor in 2001. Lisa’s passion and curiosity allowed her to grow from there, experiencing every position within the accounting org chart. Lisa progressed into her first Controller role in 2009 with Fairmont hotels. She brings a wealth of experience in hospitality spanning independent and branded hotels, full-service and select-service, brand conversions, new builds, and fractional ownership properties. Before joining Johnson Hospitality in 2018, Lisa worked for Fillmore Hospitality as an Area Controller, opening newly constructed Cambria hotels in Texas, New Orleans, Nashville, and Los Angeles. Lisa is creative in nature and a protector of her business. She brings an impressive skillset to make fast and safe decisions to meet the needs of our owners, managers, guests, and operational teams alike. She is a trainer at heart and loves helping others grow.
