Lisa is also currently the Chief Executive and Country Director for The Hunger Project in New Zealand. The Hunger Project is a global not for profit that is focused on ending hunger by 2030 in line with the Global Goals.  Core to their work is the belief that people are capable of incredible transformation. They do not view people living in hunger as needing to be rescued, rather they see them as people with the answer to their hunger. The Hunger Project partners with village communities to put in place the solutions that they have determined will provide a sustainable end to their hunger. As part of this role, Lisa is also a sought after inspirational speaker and offers workshops in both leadership development and resilience using examples from the villages where The Hunger Project operates.
