Lisa King
Lisa is the co-founder of Eat My Lunch, a social enterprise business launched in 2015 with the belief that clever business solutions can solve big social issues. For every lunch you Buy, Eat My lunch Gives a lunch to a Kiwi kid in need.
Lisa demonstrates a unique combination of generous spirit and exceptional business acumen. After 15 years working in large FMCGs, marketing some of the country’s biggest food brands, Lisa decided to put her corporate experience towards doing something that would make a positive impact in the community. As a mother of young children, she couldn’t fathom that in a country like New Zealand, 28% of children live in poverty and thousands go to school every day without lunch.
Lisa is relentless in her passion to promote the business across all avenues, challenging the way businesses think about social responsibility and how they can help solve social issues. Of significance, early on she meet with the Governor General in Wellington about the business, received a letter of commendation from the NZ Children's Commissioner, and was a speaker at TedX Auckland in 2017. This year Lisa was invited to attend and meet Barack Obama.
