The Science of Leadership. The Strategy of Growth.
I’m Lisa Marie Wark, MBA | PhD (c) — a Fractional CEO and Organizational Psychologist who partners with physicians in plastic surgery, dermatology, ENT, ophthalmology / oculoplastics, orthopedics, and regenerative medicine to build practices that perform at every level.
My approach blends business strategy with behavioral science, helping you strengthen leadership, align teams, and scale operations that double—or even triple—your top line.
Building Excellence at Every Level
Running a thriving surgical practice takes more than great outcomes; it requires vision, structure, and leadership.
As your Fractional CEO
I assess and optimize every layer of your organization—financial performance, operations, staffing, and strategy—so your practice grows predictably and profitably.
As an Organizational Psychologist
I refine the human side of business: culture, communication, and leadership development. Together, we build systems that perform and people who excel.
Strategic. Systematic. Transformational.
Strategic Growth & Revenue Acceleration
Operational Excellence
Talent & Leadership Development
Patient-Centric Systems
Private Equity Readiness & Exit Strategy
Master the Art, Science, and Business
Elective medicine blends art, science, and business.
I bring the structure of a CEO and the insight of an Organizational Psychologist to help you master all three—building a business that’s efficient, emotionally intelligent, and positioned for long-term success.
