Lisa M. Landry
Leading from the Intersection of Strategy and Soul
Lisa Landry is a master of alignment. For over 18 years, she served as a high-level architect of organizational systems, leading complex operations and multi-billion dollar integrations at Fortune 5 giants like UnitedHealth Group. Today, she is the founder of Faithfully Empowered, a platform where she translates nearly two decades of corporate mastery into spiritual mentorship for Christian women leaders.
A Legacy of Excellence
Lisa’s professional reputation was built on her ability to see the "puzzle" within the chaos. As an Associate Director at UHG, she spearheaded merger and acquisition playbooks and directed cross-functional teams across five core operational areas. Her career-long commitment to excellence has been marked by multiple NICE Excellence Awards for software implementation and a featured speaking engagement at their 2016 and 2017 national conferences. She is a leader who understands that whether you are managing a contact center or a calling, success requires both data-driven precision and human-centered empathy.
Forged in the Fire
While her resume speaks to her competence, her story speaks to her character. Lisa is a two-time cancer survivor, first facing the disease at age 14 and, most recently, navigating a second diagnosis and surgery just weeks ago. This journey from "survival to revival" has stripped away the superficial, leaving Lisa with a message that resonates with "seasoned women of wisdom." She doesn’t just offer career coaching; she offers a roadmap for leading when the territory is uncharted and the stakes are high.
The Mission of Faithfully Empowered
Launched in May 2025, Faithfully Empowered is Lisa’s response to a "stirring of the Spirit." Moving away from the "hustle culture" of the corporate world, she now equips women to lead with bold biblical confidence. Through The Faithfully Empowered Podcast, digital toolkits, and her signature Masterclasses, Lisa helps women dismantle imposter syndrome and over-thinking, replacing them with a leadership style rooted in identity and peace.
Whether she is architecting a new digital course or finding restoration in the quiet of the White Mountain National Forest, Lisa Landry remains a "steward of complexity," proving that a woman can be both a fierce operational strategist and a sensitive, Spirit-led creator.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a unique blend of operational precision and battle-tested resilience. Over 18 years in workforce management and Director-level leadership at UnitedHealth Group, I learned to see organizations as puzzles that require both data-driven strategy and human-centered empathy to solve. However, my true depth comes from my journey as a two-time cancer survivor. Facing a diagnosis at 14, and again just recently, has taught me that leadership isn't about having all the answers. It’s about the stewardship of one's calling even in the midst of uncertainty. My success is rooted in the ability to lead from a place of spiritual authority and authentic lived experience, helping others find clarity when their own territory feels uncharted.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I ever received is that true leadership is a stewardship, not a title. In the corporate world, it is easy to get lost in the 'hustle' and the pursuit of the next Director-level role. But I learned that my impact isn't measured by the complexity of the systems I build, but by the peace and confidence I instill in people. This advice gave me the courage to leave the corporate world and found Faithfully Empowered, shifting my focus from managing metrics to mentoring seasoned women who are starting not from scratch, but from wisdom.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice is to view leadership as a stewardship of your unique gifts rather than a title to be chased. Don’t wait for a perfect set of circumstances or a 'clean bill of health' to step into your calling; some of my most impactful growth happened in the 'wilderness' seasons. Be a curious leader, someone who finds complexity interesting rather than exhausting. Whether you are managing corporate systems or a creative ministry, lead with a 'people-first' heart and an operational mind, ensuring your confidence is rooted in your identity rather than your output.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest opportunity lies in the rising wave of 'seasoned' women who are starting not from scratch, but from wisdom. The challenge is navigating a 'hustle culture' that often prioritizes algorithms over authenticity. In founding Faithfully Empowered, I’ve found that the real work is helping women dismantle the limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome that can stall their progress. There is a profound need for leadership that bridges the gap between high-level operational strategy and deep-rooted spiritual depth. That's why I create resources that are both spiritually rich and practically actionable.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The core values that anchor both my professional and personal life are Stewardship, Integrity, and Compassion. I believe our professional skills and personal trials are not just experiences we have, but resources we are called to steward for the benefit of others. In founding Faithfully Empowered, I uplift women by grounding every strategic decision in Christian principles—ensuring that even the most complex business challenges are met with faith and a commitment to serving others with authenticity. For me, integrity means leading with the same heart in the boardroom as I do in the 'wilderness' seasons of life.
