Tina Webb
I had the privilege of working with Susan for several years while at Avanir. As the Director of Corporate Meetings, Susan was responsible for all the details for US and International meetings which required a strategic leader with impeccable execution skills. Susan was able to design and deliver flawlessly while collaborating with multiple stakeholders. Susan exhibits excellence in managing a team and working with vendors while also ensuring the objectives of each meeting are met. Her attention to detail is unparalleled with any other. Any company would benefit greatly from the opportunity to have Susan’s leadership.

I've been lucky to work with Susan over the last 10+ years. Susan is one of the most, professional, detailed, organized and creative planners I've had the pleasure of working with. She is passionate about her work and the industry. I was fortunate to work with Susan and her team on setting up their Strategic Meeting Management Program. Susan effectively worked with all departments to create, implement and manage a very successful program. In addition to her work ethic, drive and passion - she is also a lot of fun with high energy!!
