"Lisa has an excellent communication style and is able to draw on a broad range of experience across regulatory domains and professional networks to source relevant examples for case studies. She is thoughtful and insightful and a measure of regard with which I hold her is in the fact that she was instrumental in helping us to solve a problem that had been widely regarded as ‘unsolvable’ after years of consideration by many professional regulators from numerous different fisheries agencies."
