Lisa Rulney is Senior Vice President for Business Affairs & CFO at University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. In this episode, Lisa joins our host Donna Schiele to talk about the benefits of longevity, the value of constructive criticism, and the importance of focusing on financial sustainability.
“More than ever, we have to have a focus on efficient operations and innovation,” she says. She talks about the value in being forced to pivot quickly to online learning and how that helped them better understand how to operate efficiently. “We also need to respond rapidly to signals in the market, which isn’t something institutions have done well in the past.” She goes on to talk about how everyone needs to find their people, and the importance in having a pool of like-minded colleagues to run ideas by and with whom they can discuss issues.
Join us for a conversation with Lisa as she talks about a legacy of making those around her stronger, empowering her team to take risks, and the value in sharing your own mistakes so everyone can learn from them.
