Lisa McCarthy

Cofounder and CEO of the Fast Forward Group

Lisa McCarthy is the cofounder and CEO of the Fast Forward Group, a professional development and executive coaching company. Prior to launching Fast Forward, she spent 25 years at prominent media companies Univision, Viacom, and CBS, leading sales organizations. She experienced the cost of a high pressure, always-on workplace where people end up simply surviving and often put their personal lives on hold. She knew it didn’t have to be this way. Together, she and co-founder Wendy Leshgold designed a simple, actionable system to help people achieve success and fulfillment in their whole lives. Since 2013, Fast Forward Group’s programs and executive coaching have transformed the careers and lives of more than 100,000 professionals at leading companies, including Google, Meta, Amazon, TikTok, JPMorgan Chase, and Colgate. Recognized as a people-first leader and change agent, Lisa was named a “Woman to Watch” by Advertising Age and was included in Crain’s New York Business “40 Under 40” list. She is the co-author of Fast Forward: 5 Power Principles to Create the Life You Want in Just One Year.
