CBO Promotes Lisa Ayres to Senior Consultant
View all

CBO, the award-winning Channel Islands consultancy, is delighted to announce that Lisa Ayres has been promoted to Senior Consultant.

Lisa joined CBO with a strong background in complex project delivery, but what’s stood out most is how she works day to day. She’s calm under pressure, organised without being rigid, and someone clients quickly come to rely on when things feel busy or uncertain.

Over the past few years, she’s worked across a range of projects – from system changes to process improvements – helping teams get clear on what needs to happen and then quietly making sure it does. She asks the right questions, listens properly, and takes the time to understand how things really work before suggesting changes.

This promotion reflects the way Lisa shows up for clients and colleagues alike: consistent, thoughtful and focused on doing good work that makes life easier for the people involved. 

Lisa shared:

“I’m incredibly proud to be stepping into the role of Senior Consultant at CBO. It’s been a privilege to work alongside such a supportive and talented team, and I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to grow and challenge myself. I’m excited to continue developing my career here and to take on greater responsibility as we support our clients through their change journeys.”

Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CBO Projects, Philip Smith, added:

Anyone who’s worked with Lisa will know how unflappable she is. She’s a brilliant project manager, a trusted pair of hands for our clients, and someone who quietly gets things done without fuss. She’s also a great character and a big part of what makes CBO a great place to work. Her promotion to Senior Consultant reflects both the quality of her work and the impact she has on CBO as a business.
