Spotlight: Lisa Gilligan

This month’s woman in the spotlight is Lisa Gilligan. She is the executive director of Saving Mothers.

Lisa received an MPH from Columbia University in 2008 and currently serves as a consultant to the Prenatal Health & Wellness Initiative at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, as well as a curriculum consultant for the MPH program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Prior to receiving her MPH, Lisa spent 10 years in the financial services industry where she developed expertise in financial analysis, forecasting and strategic planning.
