Born and raised in Switzerland, and after living and working in the U.S., Susan moved to Geneva in her pursuit for a more international environment. Her early working career began at Digital Equipment Corporation where she had her first opportunity to work directly with company clients. After completing her studies at Webster University she began her career with Hewitt Associates, where she was given the opportunity to build a career covering all facets of Compensation & Benefits Consulting.
With her work dedicated to competence enhancement and motivation, she became increasingly interested in the field of behavioural science and applied psychology.
Parallel to providing expertise in the area of compensation and benefits, she continued to enhance her educational background in psychology and became trained in psychometrics, the measurement and assessment of mental functions. She then decided to capitalise on her human resources experience and established her own consulting business.
Susan is fluent in English, German and French.
