Lisa Fine is Sr. Counsel and Director, Compliance for Pearson Education, the world’s leading learning company. She is involved in all aspects of the ethics and compliance program, including trainings and communications, risk assessments and leading and managing global investigations.
Lisa started her legal career at an international law firm, where she was a litigator and also ran the Washington, D.C. pro bono program. She also worked in public interest law and advocating on behalf of persons with disabilities as part of a state protection and advocacy organization. Those roles brought her to work in the area of compliance as it allows her to help shape practices to support ethical decision-making.
Lisa also co-hosts the "Great Women in Compliance" podcast with Mary Shirley. This weekly podcast focuses on the diversity of the compliance community and the accomplishments of women in our field (and others who support women in compliance). They are also the authors of Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We’ve Learned from Great Women in Compliance (CCI Press 2020), where women share their stories of their careers and experiences.
Lisa received her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and her undergraduate agree from Tufts University. She grew up in Buffalo, N.Y., and as the daughter of an attorney and a librarian, she feels fortunate to work in a role at Pearson that combines learning and being able to use her legal background. She lives in Washington, D.C.
