Lisa-Maree Blumenfeld is the founder and CEO of Retain, LLC, an on-demand HR consulting firm serving startups and small businesses. With experience spanning Fortune 500 companies and early-stage ventures, she has built a reputation as a trusted advisor who pairs strategic thinking with hands-on problem-solving, whether coaching founders through difficult decisions or helping leaders identify and nurture internal talent.
Central to her leadership philosophy is the belief that organizational success comes from hiring strong people and then stepping back to let them thrive. Blumenfeld is especially focused on supporting female leaders, recognizing that women balancing professional and personal responsibilities often bring unusual resilience and perspective to the workplace. She has shaped her company around that same ethos internally, with comprehensive benefits and a culture that respects work-life balance; Retain has grown entirely through word-of-mouth and remains fully bootstrapped.
