Say yes and figure it out: #PitchStar Lisa Osborne

This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Lisa Osborne’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and how it laid the foundation for her remarkable career in marketing and healthcare technology. While interning at Pitch Publicity®, Lisa earned dual degrees in Public Relations and International Studies from the University of Florida, later continuing her education with an Executive MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School. Today, she serves as vice president of product marketing at Waystar (NASDAQ: WAY), where she leads go-to-market strategy and commercialization for the company’s AI-powered software. With more than a decade of leadership experience across both private equity-backed and public companies, Lisa previously served as vice president of marketing at Finvi, leading brand strategy, corporate communications, and demand generation. Lisa’s journey from intern to VP in under 10 years exemplifies how saying yes to new opportunities—and being prepared to rise to them—can accelerate career growth in extraordinary ways.

Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Lisa Osborne on this episode of “Pitch Live”:

• Show up with the confidence of who you want to become, not just who you are today.
• Don’t overlook what you may view as “boring” — they often offer the most unexpected opportunities.
• Always prepare before you pitch; research your audience and tailor your message.
• Be adaptable and adjust your pitch approach for different audiences and situations.
• Say “yes” to new challenges, even if you’re unsure how to do them — you’ll figure it out.
• Protect relationships; never burn bridges — they often lead to your next big step.
• Network before you need something — build genuine relationships first.
• When mentoring, be clear, kind, and honest — consistent truth helps others grow.
