Lisa Elkin Biography :

In 1991, Lisa Elkin worked in Compuware’s Corporate Communications and Administration department as a member of one of the company’s earliest summer intern teams. Lisa’s ability to apply herself diligently to this opportunity demonstrates the success available at Compuware for any employee.

Her first assignment as an intern involved preparing a claim for an air-travel refund that netted the company $ 400,000. The role involved an unspeakable amount of photocopying and Lisa persevered because she loved the atmosphere, the people and the excitement at Compuware. Lisa joined Compuware full-time upon graduation from Michigan State University in March 1992.

Lisa’s early assignments included recruitment advertising; organizing job-fairs; and helping create special events for internal audiences such as branch and other employee meetings. Lisa found herself sitting among executives at the highest levels of the company and working arm-in-arm with the core team in preparation for the company’s initial public offering in December 1992. In fact, Lisa also helped produce the first, critically important S.E.C. document, Form 10-Q typed, for the most part, by her own hands.

As Compuware grew, the Communications and Investor Relations group added responsibilities for communicating with more of the company’s many audiences customers, employees, press, industry analysts, investors and others. The group also took on responsibility for communications related to Compuware’s many acquisitions. In support of these efforts, Lisa contributed to and managed key corporate communications activities, including investor road shows and other investor communications, analyst communications and media initiatives. Her hard work and dedication helped earn her promotions to Manager of Communications and Investor Relations in 1997 and Director of Communications and Investor Relations in 2001.

Now leading the department as Vice President, Lisa and the organization she helped build is responsible for supporting Compuware’s business objectives through strategic, integrated and consistent communications with all of Compuware’s audiences. Additionally, the Communications and Investor Relations team works closely with Compuware’s investors to ensure shareholders have accurate, up-to-date information about the company and its prospects. She also holds a seat on the Compuware Executive Committee and works closely with the Board of Director’s Shareholder Relations Committee in the development of investor communications. Lisa credits her rapid advancement to the opportunities Compuware presented her with: the chance to work closely with top management, along with fascinating projects that enabled her to demonstrate her ability to analyze and systematically address complicated challenges.

At the same time, Lisa has enjoyed building a great communications team. The walking definition of a people person, she loves to learn as much as she can about her teammates. She loves sticking out the occasional long hours with them and supporting them as they grow and achieve amazing things. As Lisa explains, Some of my best friends are here.

When not making great things happen with her Compuware family, Lisa spends all of her spare time with her husband and two little boys at their home in West Bloomfield. A travel enthusiast, Lisa has seen France, England, Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands on business and can’t wait to someday take her husband and children along to explore even more of the world.
