Lisa lives in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, though her roots are closer to Reliant’s Cranford office, having grown up nearby in Clark, New Jersey. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Accounting, along with a minor in Spanish, from Lehigh University. During her time at Lehigh, Lisa gained valuable international experience through a semester abroad in Seville, Spain and a summer internship in Prague. With more than 21 years of experience spanning public accounting, private accounting and private equity fund administration, Lisa brings a well-rounded industry perspective to Reliant. She began her career at Ernst & Young in New York City, where she spent six busy seasons within the Asset Management practice, auditing hedge funds and private equity funds and earning a CPA. She then moved to the private side as Assistant Controller at Orange Capital, LLC, a $1.5 billion event-driven hedge fund. After more than five years in that role, Lisa transitioned into private equity fund administration, working first for SS&C and later for Apex Group following its acquisition of Broadscope Fund Administrators. Having worked across multiple facets of the alternative investment industry, Lisa is excited to leverage her diverse experience and contribute to Reliant’s continued growth and success.
Outside of work, Lisa enjoys spending time with her family, especially at the beach and while traveling. She met her husband while competing on the same Tough Mudder team, and together they have two sons, ages 8 and 5. Her interests also include tennis, exploring new fitness classes, and dancing. Although opportunities are less frequent these days, she spent many years country line dancing and salsa dancing.
