Susanne’s journey began in the aftermath of the 2001 DotCom tech crash, when her startup went bankrupt. That moment shaped her path forward: helping others build strong, sustainable companies that don’t just succeed—they last. Today, her work is featured in magazines as Brainz Magazine, HR Tech Outlook, The Enterprise World, and USA Wire. Her CEO roundtables, books, and CEO/leadership signature programs continue to shape how the next generation of leaders grow—by design, not default.
