Even before founding Jigsaw Global, a digital media education and consulting company, Lisa Osborne had earned her start-up stripes – a few times. She was part of the Atlanta launch team that produced Turner Network Television’s first website with original, not repurposed, content. Then she became the first, full-time internet hire at adidas corporate headquarters in Germany, turning their site it into one of the leading sports company destinations on the web. Most recently, she helped run the American Film Institute’s digital media incubator, called the AFI Digital Content Lab. The Lab partnered mostly with TV networks and production companies to develop cutting-edge entertainment products and services for digital delivery.
Her career has been characterized by a fascination with trying new things, running decentralized teams, and teaching. She has worked on projects for ABC, NBC, Cartoon Network, ESPN, DIRECTV, MTV, Oregon Public Broadcasting, the World Cup, David Beckham, the French Open, and the All Blacks, among others. Along the way, she has collaborated with talent from creative agencies, such as Leagas Delaney, Digital Pulp, Method, Schematic, Team One, Barbarian Group, Code and Theory, and Pod Design.
