👩 Lisa’s Bio
Lisa Roberts is Chief Marketing & Product Offer at FloorFound, an end-to-end Recommerce platform and marketplace for oversized retail items. Lisa has almost 25 years of experience working in product and marketing with some of the best in tech. She started her career at Garden.com, one of the biggest properties from Dot Com Bubble in 1998. From there she joined the product team at Dell, where she more officially learned product management (her words not mine!).
After Dell, she found herself at nFusion as an Interactive Product Manager before joining the Austin rocketship Bazaarvoice as an early employee, eventually Director of Marketing. Post Bazaarvoice, Lisa embarked on a journey into consulting before landing at Starmount, which is where she hired me as an Associate Product Manager, my first ever PAID PM gig! (definitely going to discuss this one.)
Post Starmount was a tour of some of the hottest start-ups in Austin including VP of Marketing at Adlucent, VP of Marketing at Edgecase.io, VP of Marketing at Civitas, and Chief Marketing Officer at Yonder before joining us back again (at least 50% of the time?!) in Product Land at FloorFound where she runs FloorFound’s product and marketing teams. And if that’s not enough, she founded Great Catch Consulting to consult with start-ups and is a board member at the Andy Roddick Foundation.
