Lisa Lovallo, market vice president, Southern Arizona, Cox Communications

BACKGROUND: Joining Cox in 2008, Lisa Lovallo is responsible for all the Southern Arizona business, public affairs and community relations functions in both Pima and Cochise Counties. Prior to Cox, Lovallo was a district manager at Procter & Gamble in the Los Angeles market. Lovallo left P&G to start her own business, North American Enterprises, where she spent 14 years building and growing a successful international import and export company.

SOURCE OF PRIDE: “My proudest professional accomplishment is our Southern Arizona leadership team scoring the highest in employee satisfaction for 10 years running. This is important to me and to Cox because it demonstrates that we care deeply for our people. Being part of creating an inclusive workplace is extremely fulfilling to me.”

SURPRISING FACT: “I’m an introvert. I think that would surprise most people. I am very engaged in my community leading and attending public events and activities, but I don’t like to be the focus of attention. I get my energy from one-on-one conversations, doing things for other people, cultivating seeds in my garden, watching documentaries and cooking. I prefer a small dinner party at my home, subjecting friends to a new recipe.”

SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: “I recently attended my fourth Grade Teacher’s, Mrs. Matteson’s 90th birthday party. After knowing her for 45 years, I was awe-struck by her relentless activism for education, teachers, the environment, women’s rights and for equitable public policy. She is an inspiration who never set out to be one. She just does what’s in her heart, with compassion, grit and hugs. I treasure her.”
