Susan has been a colleague and trusted advisor for nearly 20 years. In our most recent collaboration, she served as project manager for the NC State College of Engineering's centennial celebration. One of Susan's strengths is her ability to prioritize and identify clear next steps, to differentiate between 'nice to have' versus 'must have.' Her counsel prevented us from getting overwhelmed or distracted and kept us focused on activities that would meet our College's objectives.

Susan altered my view of top prospect management. In a year-long consulting relationship at Harvard Medical School, she developed highly personalized stewardship strategies for our most generous donors, advancing and strengthening our relationships with major philanthropists. Due to our work together, I hired a full-time staff member to continue this work permanently. Susan is a sophisticated professional, a smart strategist, and a tremendous partner. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

I have been consistently impressed with my engagement with Susan. She is experienced, candid while always tactful, and she has been readily available and quick to respond to any need or question that I may have. Her insight around working well with my board of trustees, helping us to begin mapping out our next campaign and her depth of knowledge around myriad details of how successfully fundraise have been invaluable.
Susan is a remarkable development professional. She has an extraordinary ability to identify the root causes of challenges, craft effective solutions, and guide their seamless implementation. I deeply admire her optimism, which is balanced by a realistic, meticulous approach to goal-setting and planning. Her expertise in volunteer management shines as she creates valued and motivated teams, alongside systems for clear decision-making. Above all, Susan leads with integrity and an enormous heart--that is perhaps her greatest gift.
