Our Team
Lisa VanPatten
Partner
I am a transformational financial leader with extensive experience driving growth, enhancing profitability, and aligning financial strategies with corporate goals. Over my career, I’ve successfully led $150M mergers, secured $1B in debt and equity financing, and implemented ERP systems, including NetSuite, to streamline processes and improve operational efficiency. My expertise in NetSuite implementations and financial system integrations has enabled businesses to scale effectively, optimize reporting, and enhance decision-making.
I specialize in guiding organizations through periods of rapid growth, restructuring, and international expansion, with a proven track record in SaaS, Media, Health, VC & PE-backed companies, and manufacturing industries. As a strategic advisor to boards and executive teams, I provide actionable insights that drive sustainable success and align with corporate objectives. During market downturns, I have led financial restructuring efforts, preserving liquidity and stabilizing operations.
Beyond financial strategy, I am passionate about fostering collaboration, empowering teams, and embracing innovation and operational excellence. My approach combines hands-on leadership with forward-thinking financial planning, ensuring that businesses are well-positioned for long-term success.
