Editor-In-Chief, Founder
Susan has spent decades pivoting from one extraordinary career to the next, proving that reinvention isn’t just possible; it’s necessary. From designing nuclear submarines as a naval architect to shaping brand strategy as a Disney executive and Nestlé brand manager, from competing as a professional poker player to founding an international educational consulting business, her career has been anything but conventional. The throughline becomes clear: Susan thrives where curiosity meets challenge.
Now, as the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of PROVOKEDmagazine, she’s once again reinventing herself, channeling that same energy into a media platform that unapologetically questions, disrupts, and redefines the conversation for women. This isn’t just about aging—it’s about autonomy, ambition, and agency.
When she’s not stirring the pot asking big questions, she’s being kept in check by her two millennial children, who refuse to let her act her age, and her cheeky Frenchie, Pippin, who clearly runs the show. Much of her tech support comes from her husband of over 40 years, a fellow nerd who thinks date night includes a deep dive into Google analytics. A lifelong traveler with more moves than she can count, Susan is pretty sure she holds an unofficial world record in relocating.
