Who
Lisa Vedernikova Khanna is a senior operator and strategic partner to leaders.
She served as chief of staff to the chairman of The New York Times, chief of staff at the Democratic National Committee, and policy and communications chief of staff at Instacart.
She has done this work at some of the most scrutinized institutions in the country, with leaders in their hardest weeks. In every role, she was trusted with the problems that were hard, stuck, or delicate, and she left things better than she found them.
Lisa founded Foxhole Partners because the leaders she worked with all needed the same thing: someone they could trust with everything, who had no agenda and would tell them the truth.
Her colleagues describe her as brutally honest, a velvet heart in an iron glove, and a reliable source of TV show, restaurant, and hot sauce recommendations.
