Lisa A. Hook (born February 28, 1958) is an American technology executive who was president and CEO of Neustar, an information and analytics services company, from 2010-2018. She also held leadership positions at several Fortune 500 companies, including AOL, Time Warner and Viacom, and worked for venture capital firms and at the Federal Communications Commission.[1]
Business background[edit]
Hook was named CEO of Neustar (NYSE: NSR) in October 2010.[2] As president and CEO, Hook led the transformation of Neustar from telecom infrastructure to information services, which was precipitated by the loss of the NPAC contract, which Neustar managed for 30 years. As a result, Neustar lost nearly half of its revenue and the stock price declined by 59% from 2013 to 2016. The business was eventually taken private through a leveraged buyout at a 29% premium. Despite this, under Hook’s leadership the Neustar’s stock appreciated just 3.9% per year, while the S&P 500 appreciated 12% annually across the same period. The company was eventually broken up and sold off for parts.[3] Prior to serving as CEO, Hook spent two years as the company's President & Chief Operating Officer, strengthening its market position and building partnerships with content and media industries.[4] In January 2010, The Washington Post reported that under Hook's leadership, Neustar was chosen by a consortium of Hollywood studios and technology executives to manage a system whereby consumers could access movies and other video entertainment from multiple digital devices.[5] The venture was not successful and was later discontinued at a loss for all involved.[6] In June 2011, Hook was the 2nd highest paid female CEO in the Washington, DC region.[7]
From 2006 to 2007, Hook served as CEO of Sunrocket, a privately held VoIP company.[8] From 2000 to 2004, Hook held several senior leadership positions at AOL, including president of AOL Broadband, Premium & Developer Services. At the time of her appointment, The New York Times reported that Hook's "self-deprecating sense of humor masks an ability to solve complex business problems."[9]
Before working at AOL, Hook was a partner at Brera Capital Partners LLC, a private equity firm focused on investing in media and telecommunications. From 1989 to 1995, she worked at Time Warner, rising to executive vice president and chief operating officer of Time Warner Telecommunications.[10]
Personal and family[edit]
Hook holds a bachelor’s degree from Duke University and a J.D. degree from the Dickinson School of Law.[11] Lisa's partner is Washington attorney Peter Gillon.[12] They live in Key Biscayne, Florida with her son and his two sons.[13]
