ABOUT

A connector of people, organiser of ideas and ardently committed to creating memorable customer and employee experiences that deliver to the senses; Lisa’s journey has taken her from the top of some of the world’s leading creative agencies to leadership roles for celebrated brands, including Aesop & Cloudy Bay part of LVMH.

Lisa D’Amico’s career has been shaped by an intrinsic belief that business can be beautiful and profitable all at once.
