Simon G.

Susan is my tutor at Dublin Business School. I find her very positive and enthusiastic in her mentoring style. She encourages open interaction and friendly discussion within the group. She consistently engages each member individually, valuing their input.

Dr. Tom Clonan

Susan Sweeney is an exceptional colleague. She is professional, works to deadline and is an intuitive and goal/results oriented individual. Susan is creative and practical with considerable leadership qualities. I would wholeheartedly recommend Susan as a colleague or service provider. Susan will always deliver measurable, objectively verifiable results in stressful or fast moving environments. She does so in a personable and understated manner.
