Lisa Brown
Founder and CEO
(Age 42, Born January 5th, 1981 in Chicago, IL)
I am the founder and CEO of QuickPayCheck, a financial education platform I started in 2024. With over 20 years of experience in the finance industry, I earned my MBA from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago. I previously served as a VP of Investments at a major bank, managing portfolios for high-net-worth clients. Known for making complex financial topics easy to grasp, I share my extensive knowledge across QuickPayCheck’s personal finance blogs and videos.
When I’m not publishing new content, you can find me spending time with my husband and two kids or training for my next marathon.

As QuickPayCheck’s lead credit and banking expert, I educate readers on maximizing credit card rewards, managing debt responsibly, and getting the most out of their bank accounts.

I provide actionable advice anyone can use to take control of their finances.
When I’m not writing articles or creating YouTube videos, you can likely find me playing basketball, grilling in my backyard, or spending time with my wife and two daughters.
