LISA BURKHARDT

Alexandria, Virginia | PathNorth member since 2020

Formerly, Lisa was a professional Realtor for Sotheby’s International Realty based out of La Jolla, CA. There she served as Vice President of the Board of Directors of the United Nations Chapter of San Diego, which was founded by Eleanor Roosevelt. She also traveled with the US Fund for UNICEF to Africa, as she is passionate about the plight of women and children around the globe. 

Mid-career, Lisa dabbled in entrepreneurship with both a start-up (Sell Me Global!) and as owner/operator of a purebred Arabian horse breeding program.

Early in her career, Lisa worked in finance as both a Lending Officer and a Senior Product Manager in Corporate Cash Management, where she developed new high-value investment products, the success of which landed her on Nightline. It was in banking that Lisa first realized the necessity for women to come together to break the glass ceiling and commit to equality and equity for all people.

Lisa was invited to work with two of the former sub-committees to the American Committees on Foreign Relations (ACFR). She has served as a Chapter Co-Chair and Education Co-Chari of Arizona YPO Gold. Lisa’s strong commitment to integrity is the primary reason behind the successes of the strategic partnerships she enjoys developing. She is extremely well connected, and an astute relationship builder in politics, finance, business, and philanthropy around the globe. 

Lisa has traveled to over 35 countries, and enjoys skiing, hiking, and fishing. Her two daughters, Hayden and Hadley, are her pride and joy.
