Lisa Larrabee

Lisa charts Harris' course, directs its strategic plan and supervises the executive leadership team. But her role encompasses so much more: Lisa helms Harris as it leads the profession forward, unifying its diverse talent through a commitment toward its shared values, strategic offerings and locations that distinguish the firm.

She instills in each team member a sense of ownership, and her dynamic thinking—driving employee development, nontraditional leadership structures and market diversification—now brings Harris to clients and into communities in innovative ways.

Prior to joining Harris, Lisa spent more than two decades at a multidisciplinary consulting firm, eight of which as vice president and COO. She then served as senior vice president and division leader for environment and planning—a 500-person, $80 million division—after the company's acquisition by a global professional services firm.

Leveraging her experience and her penchant for achieving goals within their proper contexts, Lisa brings a bold vision and acute action to Harris.

In her personal life, Lisa enjoys travel, cooking and spending time with friends and family—and an occasional rock or two. As a degreed geomorphologist, she's still fascinated by the stories rocks tell and the way their strength and gifts reflect the paradox of life itself.
