Meet Your Strategist

SusanneExecutive Voice Strategist

I know what it feels like to be the smartest person in the room—and still be overlooked.

As a German immigrant who built a career in London and New York, I learned that intelligence alone doesn't command attention. The executives who rise aren't always the most brilliant—they're the ones who know how to make their brilliance heard.

For 20 years, I've helped non-native founders and executives transform their communication from competent to commanding. Not by erasing who they are—but by amplifying the authority that was always there.

My Philosophy
"Your accent is not a flaw to fix—it's a distinction to leverage. The goal isn't to sound American. It's to sound like a leader who happens to bring a global perspective."

— Susanne
