After the birth of her daughter, Lisa returned to her hometown Melbourne in Victoria Australia.

Lisa is also an award-winning innovator and master facilitator – her unique approach has been the subject of Harvard Law case study and inspired her TEDx Melbourne talk “Can robots make us more human?” .

Lisa is a non-executive director of Ormond College at the University of Melbourne, she loves eBike riding and is learning Water Colour painting and Bass Guitar (not at the same time).
