Lisa Yeager is a Program Manager with Executive Experience. Colleagues describe her as "Lisa is a collaborative leader who fully engages others in creative problem solving to create shared ownership and commitment. Lisa and I collaborated heavily to define a service orientated architecture (SOA) and integration strategy across the research administration systems I managed and the faculty effort system she was leading development of. At the time, the UW's SOA strategy and infrastructure was quite immature, and the majority of the team leading that space was focused on another effort. As such, Lisa and I relied heavily on the best meeting of our minds to forge a path forward. What I appreciate about Lisa is that she is not afraid to ask and then find answers to the tough questions. She knows how to fully involve others in problem solving, and makes the whole process fun to boot. Lisa is a strong asset to any effort she is involved in. I would welcome the chance to work with her again, and highly recommend her." and "Lisa Yeager is the definition of a leader - a person others naturally want to follow. She builds strong teams, working hard to extend and earn trust. She cultivates people, giving them opportunities to work to their strengths and encouraging them to take on new responsibilities. Nearly every member of our team grew into a new role or well-deserved promotion during her time with us. Lisa balances active management with careful diplomacy, and can wring consensus out of even the most divergent groups of stakeholders. Her communicative, collaborative, and practical management style is a perfect fit for any high-stakes enterprise project: she calmly handles the inherent variability in creative and technical work, protects the team's ability to focus on the critical path, and guides the tough decision-making needed to deliver continuous value."
