Lisa Gable: “I've had an incredible opportunity to do turnarounds in business, government, and philanthropy. I started my career during the Reagan administration at the age of nineteen. I was at the Pentagon during the Cold War at the age of twenty-one. And then moved over to the White House. So you can’t have a greater inflection point than the end of the Cold War. 

When I moved out of Washington, DC I went to Arizona, Taiwan, and then California. I stayed in Silicon Valley for fifteen years and I met my husband there. Jim worked for Apple. I had left Intel Corporation and started my own company. We married two years later. We’ve been married for twenty-seven years, during which time we adopted our daughter and she is now working on her profession in Texas. 

Jim and I have similar work histories, we understand the world of politics and philanthropy because that has been a core area where our families have invested. So, we come to life with a desire to value differences. 

Even though we may have certain opinions, we focus a great deal on finding the good in people. We identify a place where we agree with another person in order to build a relationship. The reality and quality of life comes down to people in our personal relationships.”
