What some call human resources, we call people development, and Lisa manages ours. Raised in a Navy family, Lisa has lived all over the country as well as in Japan. And whether it's from interacting with all kinds of people while growing up or a set of innate people skills, Lisa quite simply rocks at helping the right people find their place at GLG. Before joining GLG in 2004, Lisa worked in the hospitality industry, created a similar department for another Seattle-based creative group, started up her own consulting firm, earned a degree in communications from the University of Washington, and began a family. Go, Lisa!

"The most important aspect of my role is making sure we bring the right talent in the door, the kind that adds value and will embrace the rich culture at GLG. After all, everyone brings something to the creative product, and encouraging that within GLG is the baseline of who we are. The values of the organization that were created years ago are still the focus of our internal relationships and drive the decisions within the organization overall. And always, a common thread is: don't take yourself too seriously; have a sense of humor about life." —Lisa Illingworth
