#WeAreArity Wednesday: Lisa Jillson

When Mom asks me what it is that I do again, I say…

At Arity, I lead our marketing, design, research and communications teams. Together we broaden the Arity brand footprint across all touch points – both internal and external.

In your own words, what is Arity? 

Arity is a new startup that is focused around making transportation smarter, safer and more useful using data and technology.

My favorite mode of transportation is…

My bicycle. I love to go on long rides over the weekend and am even finding myself starting to bike to work – talk about a great way to start the day!

On a Saturday afternoon, you can find me…

Working in my garden.  I love helping things grow, both in my garden and the team at Arity.

If you could volunteer for any cause, what would it be? Why? 

Peace and Unity concerns.  Our world has become very polarized and I wish we could regard each other as friends and neighbors versus defining them by their politics, race, gender, etc.

Most people don’t know I’ve…

Completed a Half Ironman triathlon…twice!

Talk to your rideshare driver or silent ride?

I tend to talk to everyone, much to the embarrassment of my kids.

Would you get in a self-driving car? Why or why not? 

Definitely — New technology really brings out my inner geek!

Favorite innovation pioneer?  

Can I name 2? Sally Ride and Oprah Winfrey
