About Lisa Love
Lisa Love didn't learn operations from a textbook. She learned it from 11 years at Wine.com, managing one of the most seasonally volatile fulfillment cycles in retail, where 60% of annual revenue hit in December, and missing a June order window meant missing Christmas. She learned it from co-founding Tanoshi, a kids' computer company built to put affordable technology in the hands of children in underserved communities, which was featured on Shark Tank in 2020, and watching a global pandemic expose every gap in their supply chain in real time. She learned it from taking over the family properties in Inglewood after her father passed in 2021, and realizing that every business, no matter the industry, lives or dies by the same operational fundamentals. Today, Lisa is the founder of Lisa Loves AI — a consulting practice that builds AI-powered marketing systems and operational infrastructure for small business owners who are ready to stop running on hustle and start running on systems. Through one-on-one consulting, training, and workshops, she helps business owners implement AI in ways that are practical, profitable, and built to last. Her message is the same: It's not you. It's the system. Her signature methodology, The FIRST Step framework, gives small business owners a clear roadmap for using AI to forecast demand, manage cash flow, time supply chains, and build the kind of operational backbone that used to cost a Fortune 500 budget. It's the COO most small businesses could never afford, now available to everyone. Lisa's broader mission extends beyond business. She is the driving force behind Future Ready Teens Lab, a passion project focused on equipping teens with skills in AI, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. She is also a champion of Max's Touch Typing for Kids, a typing-to-writing program, built on 50 years of teaching experience by her mother, and a lifelong advocate for equitable access to technology and education. Her mission has never changed: the tools that drive success should not be reserved for the few. She holds an MBA in Marketing and is a Certified AI Consultant (AI InnoVision). She has been featured in Entrepreneur, Inc., and Black Enterprise magazines. She is based in Los Angeles, California.

Speaking
Lisa speaks to audiences of entrepreneurs, executives, and community leaders about what it actually takes to build AI systems that generate real, measurable revenue growth. Her talks are grounded in real experience: 25+ years in marketing and operations, a Shark Tank appearance, and the hard lessons of building and stepping away from a mission-driven company. She doesn't do theory. She brings the war stories, the framework, and a clear path forward. If your audience is ready to stop dabbling in AI and start deploying it, Lisa is your speaker.
