“I had the privilege of working with Susan as my mentor and can attest to her unparalleled business acumen. Susan has a unique ability to bring together vision and execution, as evidenced by her successes in building businesses from the ground up. Her extensive experience and deep knowledge in both strategy and operations make her an invaluable asset to any team. Susan's track record speaks for itself - from her role as the first employee and CEO of Beats By Dr. Dre, where she drove the company's growth to become the #1 headphone globally, to her work at Harman International Group, where she developed new markets and created a partnership with Quicksilver Inc. resulting in $40M in annualized growth. Susan is a forward-thinking individual who consistently works at the cutting edge of technology, always seeking out new opportunities to commercialize new advancements for market deployment at scale. Her expertise and passion for innovation is evident in her current role as a board member and advisor to both early-stage companies and global brands, where she focuses on the intersection of entertainment, health and human performance. In short, Susan is a true asset to any organization and I highly recommend her for any opportunity in the business world.”
