Background

About Emily Lisinac

I’m a strategic operator and Chief of Staff with a deep love for making things work—gracefully, intentionally, and at scale. For the past decade, I’ve been the steady hand behind growing teams and ambitious founders, translating vision into structure, and chaos into rhythm. I specialize in building thoughtful systems, leading cross-functional execution, and creating operational clarity so that leaders can focus on what they do best. I lead with high emotional intelligence, a strong sense of rhythm, and a deep respect for people. I know how to hold space for big personalities, fast-moving teams, and evolving ideas—all while quietly ensuring the trains run on time. Throughout my career, I’ve proven that strong operations transcend industry. Whether working in tech, media, sports, or consumer, I bring a consistent ability to scale, streamline, and stabilize—no matter the environment. I believe great operations don’t just enable growth—they protect it. Whether I’m designing the rhythm of the business, partnering on hiring strategy, or managing special projects, my goal is always the same: clarity, alignment, and calm behind the scenes. When I’m not building behind the scenes, I’m likely: – Experimenting with a new recipe (I'm a self-proclaimed chef) – Planning a travel itinerary that revolves entirely around design-forward hotels and dreamy restauraunts – Rearranging a bookshelf or moodboarding a room I haven’t decorated yet – Reading about beauty, language, and how people live well around the world Always open to thoughtful connections and the kinds of conversations that lead somewhere interesting!
