Voldeng cut her teeth in advanced telecommunications in the early 1990s, beginning her career in development with a company acquired by HP’s Test and Measurement division. She built her first technology when she was 11 (a surround sound speaker system for her bedroom), wrote her first screenplay when she was also 11 (an unabashedly sweet Star Wars holiday special), and designed and deployed her first immersive experience at 9 (a haunted forest that neighborhood kids paid 25 cents to explore).

Voldeng was named one of the Top 10 “21st Century Media Thinkers” by Nikkei Electronics, one of the “Top 25 Women in Technology” by ZDnet/SFWOW and one of the “Women to Know in New Media” by the Online Journalism Review.

“Lisa has an understanding that is frankly rare, as to how Hollywood works, and why.”


–Greg Estes, former GM, Silicon Graphics

“Lisa Voldeng brings a fresh, provocative voice to major media and online issues.”


–Walt Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal

“Lisa Voldeng gets it. She really does. I’d follow her anywhere.”


– Stefan Simchowitz, President, Simco; Producer, Requiem for a Dream; former President, Bandeira Entertainment

“As good as it gets.”


Marc Landsberg, Founder SocialDeviant, former President, MRM Worldwide; former President Arc Worldwide/Publicis Groupe

“I am left quivering and speechless. überbabe has overcome me.”


–Michael Musto, Village Voice

“The love child of Paul Kantner and Joseph Campbell... Finding something this engaging to see and hear and read, something this socially and spiritually progressive, can make a man do crazy things...”


– Joe McCombs, Village Voice, Time

“You are the twinkle in the inward looking eye, the tip on the horn of the unicorn and the double knot in the red converse sneakers of sanity... We dedicate this dusk to the überbabe, and the sunrise to [UAI]...”


– überbabe immersive experience user, Phase 1

“As most venture capitalists do, every year I preview dozens of newsletters and talk to dozens of analysts, all in hopes of uncovering original and useful thinkers that might give me an edge in a very competitive business. Your stuff focuses on what most others miss, and more importantly, you tell the story thoughtfully, relevantly and irreverently. Most don't make the cut. You do.”


-William C. Hulley, former General Partner, Adams Capital Management

“[Lise Voldeng's advisories are] essential reading, peer review for digital architects immersed in design and strategy. [Voldeng] is a lighthouse for those of us finding a path to the new world.”


-Jim Griffin, CEO, OneHouse LLC

“Anyone concerned with getting down to the business of being creative in the ever evolving digital landscape should treat themselves to a helping of [Voldeng's] provocative commentary.”


-Jordan Kurzweil, former Vice President of Content Development, News America Digital/Fox

“I thought it might be helpful to let you know of how I have come to greatly value your publication. Succinctly, it informs where others do the opposite, it entertains because it's attitude is about asking tough questions that we all want to know the answers to, and it is wholly unaffected (which in the web world is a rarity, indeed) and unbiased in its approach.
As a practicing participant in the mono-media field of children's and young family TV programming, "überbabe" is a great weapon to have when considering what our options are in the rapidly changing world of entertainment. Particularly, if it will help in getting us beyond the horizons of traditional or conventional entertainment delivery mediums and creating exciting ways in telling great stories...”


-Robert Ross, CEO, Ross Saunders Entertainment Group

“[Lise Voldeng] cuts through a sea of hype and helps media and entertainment leaders get valuable information, special insight and thoughtful commentary on issues like convergence, technology and content. [Voldeng is] required reading to stay ahead of the market and to understand how to manage within our swiftly moving industries.”


-Andrew H. Orgel, former President and COO, Wisdom Networks and Co-Founder, MTV and A&E
