Lisa Endicott is a self-made, serial entrepreneur and communications expert whose career spans the spectrum of consumer brands, arts and entertainment, journalism, and public relations.
Endicott created a successful special events company, record label and public relations firm before she was 25. Her vision is to empower all women to be self sufficient and set them up in lifelong, fulfilling careers. Inspired by her real estate broker mother, Endicott has had her own public relations and social media agency Endicott PR for 21 years after 3 years at a top PR Agency led by Norman Brinker’s daughter Cindy and 4 years as a sports reporter covering three of the Dallas Cowboys’ Super Bowl-winning seasons.
