Lisa Targonski, MBA, MT(ASCP)

Director of Commercial Services

As a Director on the Commercial Services team at Elder Research, Lisa helps clients solve their biggest challenges using data analytics strategy and solutions. Lisa is particularly adept at successfully solving the people-needs required for data analytics solutions to be adopted, including executive alignment, change management, and the establishment of a data-driven culture. She also has professional experience optimizing processes, planning and executing projects, and putting together strategic partnerships.

Lisa spent the first half of her career in healthcare, working in laboratories, research design and implementation, administration of funded research, and building strategic relationships at the interface of large healthcare organizations and community-based groups. She’s taken that holistic approach to excellence into the technology space, particularly in Hospitality, where people come first and decisions are best informed by data. She brings collaborative thinking to every project and designs an approach with the end goal in mind.

Lisa holds a BS degree in Medical Technology from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, a Master in Business Administration from Augsburg College, and has completed a Collaborative Leader Fellowship through the University of Minnesota and its partners.

Outside of the office, Lisa enjoys being with friends and family, knitting, reading, and spending time in nature.
