Strategy with Heart. Clarity with Purpose.
“I started Lisa Drew Consulting to help purpose-driven leaders amplify their message, find clarity in complexity, and create strategies that move their mission forward—with intention and impact.”
My Approach Is:
✔ Rooted in listening to clients, and their stakeholders.
We begin all projects with conversations with the clients, their team members, and select audience/stakeholders to truly understand the needs of the organization.
✔ Guided by data and values
I will work to ensure that every strategy is evidence-based, mission-aligned, and built to create meaningful impact and measurable results.
✔ Designed for mission-based organizations
You have unique stakeholders. You may have smaller teams, smaller budgets. That’s why we take a look at the needs of your organization to build a strategy that is scalable and appropriate.
✔ Adaptable to your context and capacity
Whether I’m facilitating a board retreat, crafting a strategic plan, or mapping out a communications roadmap, I aim to create space for organizations to think clearly, act boldly, and stay rooted in their mission.

With more than 20 years of experience at the intersection of public affairs, corporate strategy, and nonprofit leadership, I bring a unique blend of insight, empathy, and data-informed thinking to my consulting practice.
Before launching Lisa Drew Consulting in the Chicago area, I served as Managing Director at Wespath Benefits and Investments, the largest reporting faith-based investment fund in the U.S., where I led communications, marketing, and events with a focus on data-driven, measurable communications to build engagement.
I also spent a decade at Allstate Insurance Company in senior roles spanning global change management, strategic communications, and corporate relations—work recognized by Gartner, the Corporate Executive Council, and the Association of Project Management. Earlier in my career, I served in public service roles as a Policy Analyst and Public Affairs Manager for the State of Illinois, and as a speechwriter for elected officials.
Every step of my journey has shaped how I listen, lead, and guide mission-centered teams.
