Lisa Thrasher joins LAVATEC

Lisa Thrasher has joined the LAVATEC team as the Parts & Client Services Coordinator, based in Austin, Texas. She collaborates with the company’s parts department to streamline processes and update technology, reporting directly to company president Mark Thrasher.

About Lisa

Lisa graduated from Roger Williams University in 2020 with a degree in International Business. Since then, she has worked in financial services and marketing, most recently spending three years as an Advertising Account Manager at Pushnami. Her experience there shaped her perspective on technology and process improvement, which she now brings to LAVATEC.

“I chose to study international business because I was interested in the work my dad is doing. I always knew I would work at LAVATEC, but I made a point to gain experience from other jobs first so I could learn and use that knowledge here,” she said. “My time at Pushnami was valuable since it greatly influenced me about technology. The landscape of a tech start-up is so different compared to a traditional corporation like LAVATEC. It really helped me see how technology and software can help the day-to-day work life with organization and the creation of proper processes.”

Goals & Perspective

Lisa aims to contribute significantly to LAVATEC, leveraging the expertise of her colleagues while introducing new ideas. “I hope to be a large asset to the company. The people here have years of such valuable experience and hands-on knowledge, so I consider myself lucky to be learning the business from the best,” she said. “One thing that interested me about this job was being able to work with my family. I don’t believe it’s an experience many people have anymore, and I love being able to do it.”

Personal Interests

Outside of work, Lisa enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes, often taking notes for future meals. She also takes advantage of Austin’s warm weather, spending time outdoors on long walks or visiting local parks.
