"Lisa is a true marketing, fundraising, and sales professional which allows her to quickly grasp the immediate and long-term needs of her prospects and clients. In the six months since we hired her as our Chief of New Business Development, we have countless new prospects in our sales pipeline. She has opened doors and built unprecedented awareness of our company and its services. And, in either a group or one-on-one meeting with clients or prospects, Lisa's passion for her work is evident as she defines issues and opportunities, and moves them quickly towards solutions and strategies that will achieve results. She is a welcome addition to our sales team any day of the week." |

"What impressed us most about working with Lisa was not just how quickly she was able to generate leads for our business and investment needs, but the quality of those leads. In companies I have operated in the past, I was often approached by individuals who offered to provide introductions to investment sources or potential buyers. But when it came to meeting the sources they often turned out to be low level associates, not decision makers. Right from the start Lisa generated meetings with high-level, highly interested principals of quality organizations. To date, her track record for us has been extremely high. When we considered hiring an individual who could help our company, we wanted a person who could be intensely productive right away, but also someone who understood the value of my time and my partner’s time. That’s Lisa!"

"Working with Bateau Ventures has been our pleasure. Lisa Summerville's extensive list of contacts and connections within major corporations have opened doors for new sponsorship opportunities for The Commonwealth Institute. She has proved to be an invaluable resource as our non-profit organization has sought to secure new sponsors for our programs and signature events. Within the first 30 days, Lisa had us meeting with 10 national and brand name companies - all of whom have become sponsors or are considering sponsorship of TCI. These new sponsors have significantly helped us generate net new revenue and build new relationships within the Boston community."

"Having known Lisa for 12+ years and her entrepreneurial spirit, she came to mind to lead the business development efforts for our growing non-profit, the Princeton Entrepreneurs' Network. She was able to quickly understand our needs and suggested some creative solutions to achieve our goals including securing a sponsor for our 2009 Elevator Pitch Contest. Lisa's high level of enthusiasm and comfort in building relationships and collaborating with all levels of decision makers, including senior executives, helped us to gain sponsorships and improve our brand's awareness." |
