With more than 10 years of experience in managerial accounting, corporate accounting, and financial planning, Tisha Lawton brings much to the Monster Arts executive team, a broad-based knowledge of corporate finance, accounting, business operations, and project management. Her flair and affinity for numbers, her hardnosed commitment to accounting principles, along with her dedication to building the business through forecasting, negotiating, and keen management skills, has kept Ms. Lawton on an upward trajectory and at the top of her game since she has been in the professional workforce. Ms. Lawton is also a legacy member of Future Business Leaders of America.

Most recently, Ms. Lawton has served as Chief Operations Manager for CSI Homes & Development, LLC (CSI), where she was directly responsible for, and managed, the explosive growth of this company’s annual revenues from $1 Million in 2011 to an astonishing $50 Million + in 2013. In addition to her work for CSI, Ms. Lawton has served as President of TLC Management Services (TLC), where she has led a consulting team that has at one time managed more than 21 daily clients in a diverse range of industries and focused her work in the areas of financial and operations management consulting. Upon her engagement as an officer for Monster Arts, Ms. Lawton will continue in her above-described operational and/or management positions with TLC.

From March 2009 to August 2011, Ms. Lawton served as Office Manager for Northwood Homes, LLC (Northwood Homes), where she supervised an office staff of 6 persons, and oversaw the company’s construction process and daily operations, including all of the company’s internal accounting and related bookkeeping.

Prior to her work for Northwood Homes, from 1999 to 2000, Ms. Lawton served as senior statistics manager as part of the accounting and special projects team for Solutions Media, Inc. aka Spin Records (Solutions Media), where as part of a unique team of pioneering game-changers, she helped design digitized systems to track downloads of digital media and oversaw projects related to educating performing artists about changes in the way music was being sold (e.g. moving away from selling physical CDs and toward music downloads).

During her tenure at Solutions Media, Ms. Lawton served under Mr. Irving, who at that time was CEO of the company. In January of 2000, Mr. Irving engaged ING Barings, Goldman Sachs, Maytag Investments and others to take Solutions Media public. At the time of this going public transaction, Solutions Media was then providing consulting services alongside and with Apple Computer and servicing clients including Maytag Corporation, Spin Publishing, Dig Music, and many of the world's most significant MP3 player manufacturers, with some spending as much as $1 Million dollars for services on a monthly basis. Ms. Lawton was key to some of these relationships.
