Alissa Hsu Lynch Biography

Alissa Hsu Lynch spent six years touring the world as a professional dancer before building a 25-year business career at Johnson & Johnson and Google. Today she is a board director, keynote speaker, Executive in Residence at Columbia Business School, and host of The Leadership Dance podcast. Her first book, "The Leadership Dance: Lead with Structure, Move with Freedom, and Thrive Through Change," will be published in 2027.

On stage, Lynch draws on both careers. Her keynotes show leaders how to give teams enough structure to perform and enough freedom to improvise, and how to keep moving when the choreography changes, whether the change is a reorganization or the arrival of AI. She leaves every audience with the same charge: keep dancing. She has spoken at the Future of AI Summit and for organizations including Novo Nordisk and Johns Hopkins.

At Google Cloud, she built AI partnerships with Fortune 500 healthcare companies. As a senior executive at Johnson & Johnson, she led multi-billion-dollar businesses in both MedTech and Consumer, including brands such as Neutrogena and Aveeno. She has lived and worked in Europe, Asia, and the United States, and holds two design patents.

Lynch serves on the boards of The Honest Company and Topcon Corporation and on the Board of Trustees of American Ballet Theatre. Directors & Boards named her a 2025 Director to Watch, and Women Inc. named her one of the 2025 Most Influential Women Corporate Board Directors.

As a dancer, she performed with the Limón Dance Company and Ralph Lemon Dance on stages around the world, including the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, and the Cannes Dance Festival. She is a Henry Crown Fellow of the Aspen Institute and holds an A.B. in English from Princeton University and an MBA from Columbia Business School.

Alissa Hsu Lynch Speaking Topics

  • THE LEADERSHIP DANCE: Finding Your Rhythm Between Structure and Freedom

    Structure gives you stability. Freedom creates possibility. Leadership lives in the dance between the two.

    The best performers in the world understand this intuitively. Behind every moment of apparent spontaneity is a deep foundation: years of training, clear form, muscle memory. And within that structure, the freedom to move, to improvise, to respond to what is happening in real time.

    Leadership works the same way. Too rigid, and nothing moves forward. Too loose, and everything falls apart. The leaders who thrive through disruption are the ones who have learned to move fluidly between both: setting the stage with clarity, finding creative possibility in uncertainty, and keeping their organizations in motion even when the choreography is not yet clear.

  • THE LEADERSHIP DANCE: Choreograph Your Career

    The corporate ladder is dead. Today's careers are fluid, nonlinear, and built on the courage to bet on your own uniqueness.

    Drawing on her transformation from professional dancer to Fortune 50 executive, Alissa Hsu Lynch shares the proven Career Choreo framework for reimagining success, navigating identity shifts with confidence, and designing a professional life that is as rewarding as it is impactful.

    The result is a workforce that feels seen, challenged, and in motion, and an organization that retains the talent it has invested in.
