Lisa Roberts

Lisa brings more than 15 years of biotechnology operations experience within the HR, business operations, facilities, and IT domains. Prior to Syros she was Associate Director of Operations at On-Q-ity (formerly The DNA Repair Company), where she progressed over her five-year tenure and was responsible for purchasing, contracts, information technology, facilities and human resources. It was there that Lisa established a concentration on the human experience at all levels in the organization, growing the performance management program, managing the HR elements of a merger, and establishing a culture of respect and collaboration. Lisa joined Syros in 2012 as one of the company’s first employees and laid the human resources ground-work to build a values-based and learning culture.

Prior to life in biotech, Lisa spent her early career in the restaurant industry and the not-for-profit sector. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Emerson College.
