Lisa has always pursued her career with the motivation of living her values. Most recently as the VP of Global Culture and Belonging at DoorDash and having held leadership roles at Squarespace and Pandora Media, Lisa knew that she would center Agnes and Sherman around her life’s work: empowerment, inclusion, and community. As a Taiwanese American immigrant raised in pre- and post-apartheid South Africa, her life lens has always been making “othered” people feel a sense of belonging.

Lisa’s work with the Asian American community harkens back to 2008 when she became the publisher of award-winning magazine Hyphen, and also as the cofounder of Thick Dumpling Skin, a online community dedicated to positive body image. 

Lisa holds a B.A. in Mass Communications and a B.A. in Theatre and Performance Studies from the University of California, Berkeley. She’s proud to sit on the boards of AACRE (Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality), and GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation). She is committed to investing in and supporting organizations led by women and people of color.
