In Suzanne’s own words . . .
Approachable. This is the word that comes up most often when people describe me. I love being known for openness -- you'll find it in every conversation.
I am a keen and empathetic listener who creates a safe space where people open up and feel seen. At the same time, I'm able to quickly hone-in on what matters. Turning up the heat when needed, keeping objectives in focus, and appreciating that every situation is different.
My professional journey is founded on what I call the "three c's": connection, collaboration, and courage. These have been key guideposts in my twenty years of leadership experience across the consulting, content licensing, media, and life sciences industries. Over the course of my career, I've partnered with organizations to drive transformation initiatives, build industry-leading sales teams, spearhead communication strategies, and been a trusted coach for individuals and teams.
And as an active champion of female leadership, I am passionate about being a catalyst for women who are finding their voice or looking to evolve how they present themselves to the world.
