August 21, 2026 – SuperHeroes Lisa Somers and Third Successful Career Lawrence Dunning

Lisa Somers – CEO of Marketplace SuperHeroes Thinking you’re making progress, but you’re actually just busy. Lisa Somers is the CEO of Marketplace SuperHeroes, an online education and training company that helps entrepreneurs build and grow businesses selling physical products through Amazon and international marketplaces. Lisa joined Marketplace SuperHeroes in 2016 and developed her understanding of the company from the ground up, working across its departments and gaining firsthand experience in the systems, marketing, customer experience, partnerships, and operations required to scale an online education business. That broad operational background ultimately led her into the CEO role, where she now oversees the company’s strategy, growth, and international team. Under Lisa’s leadership, Marketplace SuperHeroes has grown into a fully remote global business that has generated more than $35 million in revenue. Her particular areas of expertise include affiliate marketing, joint venture partnerships, developing high converting offers, team leadership, and creating the operational structure needed to support sustainable growth. Rather than viewing scaling simply as increasing sales, Lisa focuses on building the partnerships, processes, offers, and people that allow a company to grow without losing control of its operations or customer experience. As the sister and business partner of Marketplace SuperHeroes co-founder Stephen Somers, Lisa brings a different perspective to the entrepreneurial story behind the company. While Marketplace SuperHeroes is best known for teaching people how to build Amazon based businesses, Lisa’s work provides an inside look at the business behind the education, including how to manage a distributed international team, create offers that convert, develop mutually beneficial partnerships, and evolve as a leader as a company becomes larger and more complex. Her experience offers entrepreneurs practical lessons about moving from working inside every part of a business to leading the people and systems responsible for its continued growth.
