Remembering Lisa Rizzuto Kennedy

Nearly three decades ago, Lisa Rizzuto Kennedy founded TTI of USA. After working alongside Lisa for more than a decade, I took over as Owner, President, and CEO following her passing on July 28, 2021, continuing the company she built while carrying her vision and values into the future.

Lisa was the personification of what it means to take every opportunity in life. She was kind, loving, and tough when she needed to be. She championed and supported anyone who wanted to work hard and better themselves. A gracious host, she always made her clients, friends, and colleagues feel welcome, valued, and special.

She built a company that withstood the devastation of September 11, 2001, when her offices were just a block from Ground Zero; persevered through the recession; and bounced back after Hurricane Sandy flooded Lower Manhattan and her own home. Through every challenge, Lisa demonstrated resilience, determination, and an unwavering commitment to moving forward.

TTI of USA reflects the person she was and the values she instilled in those around her. Today, I am committed to honoring her legacy by continuing to build meaningful relationships, create opportunities, and deliver the personal service and dedication that have always defined our firm. Her impact remains at the heart of TTI, and we carry that forward in everything we do.
