Notes from those that have worked with Lisa

“I have known Lisa Stark in a professional capacity for more than six years. She served from November 2009 until November 2015 as Director of Communications and Marketing for Sher Fertility Institute – a nationwide network of Fertility Clinics that I founded in 1998. During her tenure, she helped redefine our marketing and PR strategy, taking Sher Institute to ever increasing heights. Lisa brought creativity, innovation and dignity to the way in which the SIRM culture is displayed to the world.

Prior to hiring Lisa, I received several glowing recommendations about her from prior employers and I can honestly say that she has lived up to and surpassed those recommendations. Lisa proved to me that she is one of the most uniquely talented communications professionals in this field and I count it as good fortune that I have had the opportunity to collaborate closely with her on our Marketing and Communications initiatives. She is highly innovative and thinks and acts “outside of the box”.

When Lisa first joined us, she had no experience in the field of Reproductive Medicine but she rose to the occasion and rapidly learned the ropes to the extent that I can honestly say that she is the most skilled and talented communications and marketing professional that I have worked with in my career. What also impressed me immensely was the manner in which Lisa was always able to translate often complex information into applied productive and tangible performance.

Working with Lisa Stark as Director of Communications at SIRM has been a joy as well as an education. I have learned so much from her and highly recommend her as not only a consummate marketing professional, but as a friend.”
Geoffrey Sher, MD Executive Medical Director Sher Fertility Institute

“I work in concert with Fertility Center Marketing and Communication Directors across the country day to day and Lisa is above and beyond one of the most talented individuals in healthcare marketing. Her drive, dedication and understanding of Public Relations and the Media has contributed immensely to the ongoing success of the expansion and aggressive growth of the Sher Institutes of Reproductive Medicine Clinics nationally. Much of the local and national press that was consistently generated, would not have been possible without Lisa’s constant support and internal coordination. She is a dynamic, savvy, yet personable Marketing and Communications Executive, whose work ethic is second to none.”

“We worked with Lisa and The Sher Institutes for over two years. Lisa is one of the “brightest” publicity minds we have worked with in over 20 years. She is 100 percent invested in her work educating patients and the media about the many infertility treatments and causes available for the over 6 million infertility patients in the U.S. We found her compassion and her knowledge to be unequaled in this field – she truly cares about the patients and countless couples that go to Sher for support and help. There is no one better in this field than Lisa and it was extreme pleasure to work with her team at Sher.”

“Lisa is the top communications professional that I have ever had the good fortune to collaborate with professionally. She is able to grasp very complex scientific information and translate it into various communications vehicles that help the general public as well as the medical community understand the breakthroughs and clinical services provided. Lisa is very professional and has a great understanding of the various ways to interact with a wide variety of constituents. I would highly recommend Lisa for future executive public relations and communications positions.”

“I have worked with Lisa for more than 5 years as she implemented the vision she had to grow our presence in social media. She tirelessly explored new and rewarding methods of getting our message out, all of which reaped immeasurable rewards. She has an intuitive feel for marketing, but beyond that she actually delves deep into understanding the benefits and attributes of the people she is working with, making her a powerful advocate. I recommend her extremely highly.”

“Lisa always thinks outside the box; she focuses on solutions not the obstacles. I’m amazed at the way Lisa is able to get news coverage, NATIONAL news coverage continuously on practically the same subject, she makes it relevant, she makes it matter. She knows what the public wants to hear. Dr. Sher is very lucky to have her. I’m proud to work with her on marketing projects.”

“Lisa is an insightful communications strategist. We worked closely in opening and advancing an innovative academic oncology research and care institute. Lisa showed much heart and compassion in developing strategies to creating awareness of current and state of the art oncology research and care including Ph. I and II clinical trials. To her credit, this level of care expectation is now an awareness and expectation in Las Vegas.”
Clark Dumont, APR/Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications at MGM Resorts International

“Lisa Stark is an outstanding communications strategist. In her role as VP of Communications at Nevada Cancer Institute, Lisa excelled in the areas of written and verbal communications and brand management. She was well organized and able to work independently as well as bringing teams together when needed. Lisa was always willing to offer her assistance and had an excellent rapport with her colleagues, leadership, physicians and community stakeholders and other professional organizations. She would be an asset to any employer, and I recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.”
