About the Founder
Lisa M. Kardos, Ph.D.
Dr. Lisa Kardos earned her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). She founded and previously sponsored the Kardos and Jusino Family Annual Scholarship in Memory of John F. Papetti, Sr. and the Lisa M. Kardos ’04H ’06 ’15 and Fernando Jusino Annual Scholarship. Lisa currently serves as a Key Contributor to the Lois Chipepo Women with STEAM Scholarship.
A keynote speaker on the university level, Dr. Kardos enjoys helping college students and young professionals overcome challenges and achieve their dreams. An earlier role of advising undergraduates as the Coordinator of the Undergraduate Program in Chemical Engineering (NJIT), in addition to her years of experience helping students as an Adjunct Professor, inspired her to write her first book, Optimize for Victory. An Amazon bestseller, her book ranked #15 in Women and Business upon its release.
Since the publication of her first book, Dr. Kardos has released two additional titles: Optimize Your Productivity and Success Blueprint. She additionally provides performance management consulting/coaching. And, given her passion and interest in creative endeavors, she also writes a successful ongoing mystery series under her pen name, Lizzie Benton.
In addition to her academic experience and achievements, Dr. Kardos advanced her career in the chemical industry. She started as a Process Engineer (Infineum; a joint-venture of Exxonmobil and Shell) and advanced to the role of Site Technical Manager (Anderol Specialty Lubricants, a Division of Chemtura Corporation), where she managed three departments and mentored colleagues of various experience levels.
When Dr. Kardos is not working on her educational and philanthropic initiatives, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children.
