Lisa Kipps-Brown founded Glerin in 1996, has been a web developer since 1995, and is bilingual in Spanish.

In 1997, before e-commerce software was widely available, she developed an online store for Mauch's Sailboat Guide that resulted in the Guide being sold to customers on every continent in the world except Antarctica. These books were also some of the first independently published books to be sold on Amazon.com. In 1999, to begin moving the guide from a print to digital medium, she developed a searchable web database of thousands of sailboat model specs that served as an adjunct to the guide.

Lisa provides a unique combination of experience in both business and design and development. She holds an Accounting degree from Virginia Tech, was a member of the Board of Directors of the Industrial Development Authority of Halifax County for 4 ½ years and served as Secretary/Treasurer for 3 of those. She was on the founding committee for the Riverstone Energy Center and Modeling & Simulation Center of Excellence. A founding board member of The Virginia Coalition, she has been a member of the Technology Committee for the Halifax County Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Committee for the Town of Halifax, the Southern Piedmont Technology Council, the Rural Broadband Technology Council, and the Last Mile Fiber Optic Initiative for Halifax.
