Lissa Nickell

Born and raised in Idaho, Lissa graduated from the University of Idaho with a B.S. in Biological Engineering and minors in Mathematics and Pre-Health Studies. During her time there, she enjoyed working in the lab as a Research Assistant, developing efficient research processes, and building her leadership skills as an Executive Board member of her sorority.

Lissa first found her passion for search and technical sourcing as a Research Analyst at Apex Leaders, where she supported middle-market private equity and venture capital firms in their due diligence efforts. Prior to joining Bespoke Partners, she continued to develop her skills on the recruiting team at Braze, a public SaaS company.

When she is not working, you can find Lissa either binge-watching a new TV show or outside skiing and backpacking with her rescue dog, Turbo. She has also recently attempted gardening and pottery classes.
