Lisa A. Hook (born February 28, 1958) is an American technology executive serving as president and CEO of Neustar, a publicly traded global information and analytics services company. Previously, Hook held leadership positions at several Fortune 500 companies, including AOL, Time Warner and Viacom. She also worked for venture capital firms and at the Federal Communications Commission.
Hook was named CEO of Neustar in October 2010. Prior to serving as CEO, Hook spent two years as the company's chief operating officer, strengthening its market position and building partnerships with content and media industries. In January 2010, The Washington Post reported that under Hook's leadership, Neustar was chosen by a consortium of Hollywood studios and technology executives to manage a system whereby consumers could access movies and other video entertainment from multiple digital devices. In June 2011, Hook was the 2nd highest paid female CEO in the Washington, DC region.
From 2006 to 2007, Hook served as CEO of Sunrocket, a privately held VoIP company. After about 13 months with Hook at the helm, SunRocket went bankrupt, abruptly ending service and failing to inform its subscribers in a timely fashion. From 2000 to 2004, Hook held several senior leadership positions at AOL, including president of AOL Broadband, Premium & Developer Services. At the time of her appointment, The New York Times reported that Hook's "self-deprecating sense of humor masks an ability to solve complex business problems."
Before working at AOL, Hook was a partner at Brera Capital Partners LLC, a private equity firm focused on investing in media and telecommunications. From 1989 to 1995, she worked at Time Warner, rising to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Telecommunications.
In 2011, President Barack Obama named Hook to the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee, a group that advises the White House on national security and emergency preparedness issues with regard to telecommunication services.
