Lisa Holt is the Founder of Ivy Risk Strategies, a boutique advisory brokerage she launched after a successful career as a top producer at a global firm. Her unconventional path as a first-generation immigrant and single mother informs her empathetic, humanistic approach to insurance, which she calls "making insurance sexy". Holt’s expertise in public-private partnerships and complex portfolios has enabled her to manage high-stakes projects, including the stadium and training facilities for Inter Miami soccer. She also recently placed the largest escrow bond deposit in insurance history for the Four Seasons Las Vegas. Beyond her firm, Holt serves as the Committee Chair for the Urban Land Institute’s Women’s Leadership Initiative, where she advocates for the visibility of female real estate executives. Her resilience and positive mindset have allowed her to build a firm that thrives on high-value, complex challenges.
