Lisa is Co Founder of Purpose Disruptors and has over 20 years’ experience in the marketing, advertising communications industry. She has held leadership positions both client and agency-side working with brands such as Coca Cola, Tetley, Strongbow, Unilever, Greenpeace, WWF and innocent. 

In 2019 she became aware of her personal connection to the climate emergency and developed her understanding of the links between this and the work she was doing to drive consumption. 

 
 

She re-trained, completing a short-course at Cambridge University in Business Sustainability Management from the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership and co-founded Purpose Disruptors to ‘help the industry transition so it only creates work in line with a 1.5 degree world’.

In 2021 she launched the 'Good Life 2030' project at COP26, showcasing the first short documentary about advertising, consumption and climate change. The project is an ongoing enquiry into how people in advertising can use their imagination to help create new visions of a sustainable ‘Good Life’ through workshops, experiences and creative work.
