Suzanne is the founding Principal of Redshift Leadership, a consultancy that specializes in leadership and culture, with a deep expertise in the brain science research underlying emotional intelligence and organizational dynamics. Suzanne works closely with leaders and teams to get to underlying patterns and neurobiological hacks that support stable and self-aware nervous systems -- this attunement of Personal Ecology serves as the foundation of all other leadership and organizational work, helping to ensure more access to meaning, capability, creativity, joy and connectivity.

As an experienced executive coach, leadership consultant, retreat session facilitator, and advisor to Boards of Directors and senior teams, Suzanne leads Redshift Leadership and personally commits herself to supporting both innovative for-profit clients and NGOs across a range of areas.

In this work, the focus is not only on what is done, but how it is done, often in an effort to lead, problem-solve and implement change across organizations undergoing enormous transformation due to both internal and external shifts. Suzanne is accustomed to high pressure, high impact engagements with clients and draws upon extensive experience from her on-going work with select private sector companies, primarily in the media/entertainment and private equity sectors, including Netflix, Apollo Wealth management, ASCAP, Disney, NBCUniversal, Siemens, and Nat Geo, Facebook, as well as several private family offices and hedge funds.

In addition to facilitating strategic and leadership development retreat sessions for her many NGO and corporate clients, she has led several international and national gatherings on climate change policy, upholding democracy and democratic principles, US election law, and strengthening civil society. Suzanne works with a variety of NGOs and non-profits including the ACLU, Obama Foundation World Fellows, Ford Foundation, CNN Heroes, Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC), European Climate Foundation, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), DNC, Sierra Club, The Ad Council, , Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Philadelphia Mayor’s Office, LA Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell's Office, and Amna (formerly Refugee Trauma Initiative).

Prior to Redshift, Suzanne was Executive Director at Teleos Leadership Institute, and was a Senior Editor at Harvard Business Publishing. Suzanne holds a Masters Degree from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, has been trained in Internal Family Systems, and is an alum of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland’s IOS program, as well as Robert Gass’s Art of Transformational Consulting program.
